Is it normal that my obliques/abs tense up when i get stressed?

So yeah, I've noticed that whevener a sudden stressful situation happens to me, my abs/obliques momently tense up at the point that I can't breathe xD For example, when I'm in the car with my mom and we get honked at or she hits the breaks, I do that instead of jumping o.0 Am I the only one?

    I get knots in my stomach when I'm under a lot of stress. Stretching and deep breathing helps.

    Normal. My carpal tunnel kicks in when I'm stressed. I feel no pain or tingliness unless I'm nervous or stressed.
