Could any of these symptoms be just a result of a psych disorder and/or the stress of it, or should I get it checked out?
-tension headaches
-dizzy spells
-stomach cramps
-excessive need to urinate
XPosted in the Bipolar form. (I hope that's allowed... I'm not sure exactly what's up with me yet, so I thought I'd put it on a more generalized board as well.)

It could be yes.
It also could just be stress related.
The frequent urinating should be watched though, as sometimes that is a sign of diabetes.

Those symptoms are very common. They could be stress related or could be totally due to some physical cause. Do you notice any patterns with these symptoms? Time of day, like always in the morning? After certain foods? Are you taking any medication? Many medications have these side effects? How is your general health? The excessive need to urinate can be due to certain foods you ate. Also, stress can cause one to urinate more? Of course, if you drink coffee, tea, or soda you will have to urinate much more.
