No, I don't believe it was a cause of anxiety. The bloating, excess (trapped) wind and associated discomfort caused very unpleasant sensations which triggered dizziness, panic, etc. If you've every been really constipated, you've had a similar sensation (but without the panic attack I imagine). In my case I had diarrhea though, not constipation. Another odd one I discovered is jerky video playback (e.g. streaming on the web). That triggers a sense of unreality which can trigger an attack.
