That's a word I wasn't familiar with but, now that I looked it up I know what it means.

Lately I have been getting a lot of anxiety off and on, which affects my breathing. I think the anxiety has to do with my stomach when I overeat, so I am trying to eat much less.

I had to look this up but now it will be one of my favourite words. Butterflies in my stomach

I have no idea what this is -- but I'm going to decide that it's a replacement word for something much worse! Oh, Collywobbles!

Sounds like a word British people say to censor themselves
