10 Agoraphobia Symptoms
Symptom #6: Abdominal Pain and Diarrhea
The abdomen can be divided into nine regions: right hypochondriac, epigastric, left hypogastric, left flank, umbilical region, right flank, right iliac, suprapubic, and left iliac. Diarrhea refers to three or more loose stools a day.
In agoraphobia, the activation of the sympathetic nervous system can result in abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is usually self-limiting and resolves on its own. Chronic cases can be managed symptomatically (short term) with loperamide.
