Hey, Im 17 years old, I got diagnosed with severe anxiety along with emetophobia, I get this alot, Its terrible, Im acctually going through it right now, trying not to vomit :( Its very hard to go through, in fact sometimes i just want to curl up and die.. I took gravol so much when i was 14 i got addicted to it, luckilly im okay with it now. But its most likely just anxiety, I feel better after going to the bathroom as well, so try that, do some breathing, take a gravol, put a cold cloth on your neck, do something distracting, try to nake a nap and rest if possible (can be extremely hard), mostly just do something super distracting, like putting on music and dancing or singing, sometimes i find putting on a sad song that makes me cry and super upset helps, yes it sounds soo stupid but when your thinking more about something sad that happend and a sad song, you just start crying and it lets out the anxiety and calms you down. Hope this helps :)

I have went to the doctor for over a year now, and i have looked and looked for a solution. We have done tests like a cat scan, and gallbladder test. I am about to get an upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy to check for ulcers and any other odd things in my stomach. I have to take Zantac and a nausea pill to help ease my stomach. I have done just about everything with this and nothing has helped. I couldn't sleep, i couldn't move and right before i get sick my feet get super cold. Even if its 80 degrees with a hoody on i can't get warm. Honestly, i take my pills and they help me not throw up, but it sits in my throat and makes me feel worse so i force myself to puke. After that i feel nearly 80% compared to the 2% i was feeling. I hope this helps. I kind of blabbed a little. Sorry. Goodluck. ((:

I'm so glad I found this because I feel exactly the same! I went to the doctor and she said it was GERD/acid refulx i took omeprazole which did not even touch the nausea or heartburn as said by the doctor!! Then I found GAVISCON! Which I take before bed and after meals religiously! It does help!! But I still get nausea and when I get nausea i panic and feel sick even more!! which i have no idea how to cure at all any suggestions will be appreciated! I also think about things that make me feel sick and situations in the past that have lead me to feel sick. I think about these kind of situations uncontrollably for some reason it is really restricting my life. any help please. Note: This has happened to me on and off (usually 4 months at a time) at least once a year.

When I was younger (about 11) I threw up one morning. I kept on throwing up several times throughout the day. The next day and onwards I didn't throw up, but continued to feel horrible, like I was about to thrown up. I have a phobia of throwing up, so this caused a great deal of anxiety. This continued for months, and the entire time I was not going to school. My mother told me it was in my head. It was the worst months of my life. Luckily, my father is a doctor. I developed a near-permanent bruise in the crook of my arm where all the blood was drawn. He tried everything from H-pylori to allergies. Finally, one day, after I had gone back to school, my father called child care where I was and asked them to make sure I was ready and to sign me out. Once he got there, I went out to the car and we went to the doctors. On the way there he said that he found what he thought my problem was, but he hoped it wasn't that. *side note: it's not anything terminal, if you have what I have, it's totally okay* In the end, the test that had pulled back the veil on this sickness that was 'all in my head' was on that tested for celiac. Celiac is a gluten intolerance. Many statistics say it affects 1% of the population, most without symptoms. I believe it affect more than that, but that's just me. Any who, gluten (wheat, barley, sometimes oats) destroyed the finger-like villa of my intestines. Normally, the stand on end; however, anybody who has an intolerance to a food and continues eating it, their villae will lay down because they have been damaged and killed. I stopped eating gluten, which at the time (before gluten-free was a "fad") was a bit tricky and not very good tasting. In addition to gluten, I also stopped eating other common allergens such as dairy and eggs, because I had become sensitized to them while eating the actually bad allergen. Quite quickly my symptoms went away, including one that on would not see as unusual or a symtom of a disease: my OBSESSION with the colors black and white. My inability to process gluten caused my brain to get toxins which made it hard for me to differentiate colors, so naturally I was drawn to the colors least like each other: black and white. When I say obsession, this is not like any fashion trend, this was me choosing black and white for any colors I had a say in (my braces, several outfits, my halloween costume being a barcode). I also had changes in my personality. I wasn't moody, I wasn't angry or sad. Eventually I started eating dairy and eggs again, and everything was fine. The next year, my mother wanted to try putting me back on gluten again. I was moody, mean, I made very little friends and black and white along with other odd things came back. When I went off gluten again, once more, my symptoms went away and I felt GREAT. I still do, and I'm so much more out going now. When I do get glutened it's pretty bad (Nauseated, shaky, won't eat anything, I once lost control of my bowel movements, essentially horrible). However, between those times, life couldn't be better. I would also lik to say, this is after going through the five stages of grief (I'm not kidding, I went though all of these, like one who had just lost someone they love): denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

In summation: I felt yucky, I got diagnosed with celiac and now I feel fantastic when I don't eat gluten. :-)

 

I hope you at least consider getting tested, as untreated celiac increases the risk of several auto-immune diseases and cancers, and once treated, actually lowers the risk of death by fifty percent as compared to a normal person (Don't quote me on that, I've just heard that several times by different people). Whatever happens, I hope you find out what it is and get it treated. Good luck!:-)

I had the same thing happen, but now I'm better, it turns out it was celiac disease. For more information about my ordeal, the post above yours is mine. If it turns out it's not celiac, I hope you find out what it is!

Best of luck to you!

Omg I've been feeling so alone and am so glad I found this thread. I've been having all those symptoms for the past 7 weeks. Ever since I had a miscarriage and a D&c . They think I have an ulcer and colitis after a recent ER trip. Currently, I am on omeprazole and Pepcid . They help but not enough. Especially with the severe night time nausea and the constant knot in my throat. I have a phobia of vomiting so I literally just lay still and swallow it back down. Shortly after I need to either pass gas or go number 2. Then I get hungry. It's so weird. I have an endoscopy and colonoscopy scheduled for a week from now. If anyone still reads this, I'll post back. I hope maybe an answer will come my way. Could be hypothyroidism as well. WHO THE HELL KNOWS!!!

This has been happening to me lately for a few months now. Just randomly getting nauseous and all, at any time of the day. It happened last year also, so I got tested for h pylori, and it felt like it was from that. I got cured for it with so many pills and felt fine all through the summer. But similar feelings started again in September. I got tested again and it came back negative. I'm currently taking Nexium, which seems to help with having bad heartburn and stuff, but every time I try to go out somewhere, I freak out about getting sick. I've had a fear of vomiting since I was very young because for some reason it's very difficult for me to get anything out, plus I got put in the hospital from it multiple times from getting severe poisoning. It feels like it's just all in my head, but I don't know how to stop it. The doctor didn't tell me much; just said I should get an endoscopy to check my stomach out. I'm getting stressed out also from constantly feeling sick like this. This is just horrible. The best way to stop the nausea for me is by taking Motilium. I don't even know if it's good to frequently take that! And or try to do something to completely distract myself! Hopefully everyone can figure out what's going on and get all better ^-^

I have been experiencing random extreme nausea for over 25yrs. I’m 32. I remember being as young as 6 or 7 and having a random onset of extreme nausea & having to go to my bedroom window, open it & put my face close to the screen to breathe in fresh air. That’s always been the only thing to help it go away. I don’t know why it happens. It happens as often as couple times a week to as infrequently as every few months. But I know when it happens because it’s a different kind of nauseous feeling than when I’m sick.
