HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It may be anxiety related to flying. Anxiety can present with physical symptoms including those mentioned above. It can also commonly cause chest pain, abdominal pain, palpitations and even diarrhea. You may want to speak to your doctor prior to your flight to see if you can get medication to relax you while you fly. I hope this helps
