Stress of any sort is a common cause of heartburn. Maybe it has something to do with all that blood rushing to ones head when it really needs to be around the digestional tract to help digest your food.

Stress slows down digestion in the upper tract (I think) but can speed up the lower tract (hence 'the runs' we may get with anticipatory anxiety) so maybe your stomache tries to compensate by pumping out more acid to break down the food. Thats assuming you are eating some meals?

Think about it. Loss of appetite is also a symptom of stress. Stimulant drugs kind of replicate stress - the 'fight or flight' response, and people commonly loose thier appetite on amphetamines, at least with recreational doses.

Though I'm only hypothesizing.
