i'm 14 years old, and i don't really know what's going on...

i wake up every morning, and i basically feel like i'm going to throw up, but never do. i usually get up around 6:30 AM - 7:00 AM (on week days for school) and i usually go to bed around 10:30 pm - 11:00 pm. i've never actually thrown up, or anything. i go to school then, and i still feel sick until about 10:00 AM. my stomach kind of gurgles. i've tried eating something in the morning, (which i really don't want to do incase it just makes it worse, or i actually do throw up) and it never really has done anything. i have absolutely no apetite, and many times actually end up even skipping lunch. i went to the doctor about this a few weeks ago, and he said that he couldn't really think of anything. being nauseous(sp?) is about the only thing that i'm experiencing. no pain, no throwing up, nothing else.

the funny thing is, this only seems to happen when i'm going somewhere.
i never feel sick when i'm at home, except when i get up in the morning and am going to school or some place... not just school, but i've gone out other places and i feel kinda sick then too. its sooo frusterating.

i'm not stressed about anything, i don't think i suffer from anything, like anxiety or depression. sometimes when this happens to me i couldn't be happier. but it's really starting to bug me and i don't know what to do. i've tried tons of different things; taking Tums before bed and right when i get up, not eating anything, eating something, drinking sierra mist to try to get me to burp and i don't know what to do. i've looked around online, and it looks like the only thing it could be is anxiety which i dno't think it's that.

has anyone else had this problem? i feel fine otheriwse, i just feel like im going to throw up but never do!!

The same thing happens to me when I have little sleep. When I go to bed at 12 or past 12 then when I wake up at 6 I feel like throwing up all morning until several hours pass. However, I have a burning pain on my upper stomach area that I think may be an ulcer so I've associated altogether. The pain I have is only present every couple of months or so and comes if I get stressed or eat the wrong thing.

IT's anxiety. Alot of people who have it don't know it. I went through the same thing until I spoke with a friend. They gave me a pill that they were prescribed for anxiety. Makes you feel a TON better.

trevor,

actually i've had nearly the same thing for 2 months...you may want to be checked for a duodenal ulcer...the symptoms i have had sound close to yours (feeling sick after waking up, sometimes returns toward nighttime, no appetite, weight loss, some depression or dull feeling)...i have just been prescribed nexium to reduce stomach acid and also an antibiotic to kill the H. pylori bacteria that caused the ulcer....if you still have the problem i would talk to a doctor about that

i have been going through this for about a month straight now. i wake up every morning so sick to my stomach and i dont understand why. i have panic attacks about twice a day bc my mind has convinced myself that im never going to get better. every time i get ready to go somewhere i freak out bc im convinced that when i get there im going to feel sick and have to leave... or nobody is going to understand. im taking xxanx right now to help with my attacks.. used to i thought i was just crazy and never going to get better, but im starting to realize that is it just anxiety and im going to have to see a psychiatrist.
