“Is it normal for anxiety to cause nausea?”
I am 29 years old and I have problems with anxiety. I'm not taking any medication for it yet, but normally my anxiety leads to me being nauseous. What do you think I should do? Is this normal?

Yes, it is very common to have physical symptoms like nausea, stomachache, diarrhea, etc., related to anxiety. If your symptoms are getting worse, you should schedule an appointment with your doctor to review treatment options.
Yes it can be, but if still warrants a workup; especially if it's a relatively new symptom

The subcortical brain is not the deep thinking part of our Brians. So it can misinterpret certain sub threshold sensory cues as perceived danger, and Viola anxiety

Yes it can make you nauseous. Stress causes a lot of physical things in our body and life.
Consider seeing a therapist for help. The Anxiety and Phobia workbook by Bourne is a good self-help source for anxiety. Also, if you have a smart phone purchase and use a mindfulness app like Calm, Peace, I Giant Mind, etc.
