hey guys im a 15 yr old male , ivd read alot on this topic and most people say its anxiety and i think i agree when i get nervous about things i cant breathe, the tips of my fingers are numb and i feel like passing out and i cant even eat. but in the morning this feeling usually starts when i get in the shower ill start with my stomach hurting then ill start feeling like throwing up i have dirhea everymorning and when i actually get close to throwing up i usually either dry heave or actually throw up. its starting to drive me crazy!. ive missed school because of it. also i may add that in the past i have passed out due to low blood sugar. please help me find out what this is!
hey! im a14 year old girl and last year i had exactly what you did. it started with just feeling sick, and then feeling really dizzy. and quiet a few times my fingers went all numb and i felt like i was gonna pass out. it was really horrible, and i missed loads of school, which really wasnt good. so then i begun to wake up feeling sick in the morning or even in the night. often i gagged, really feeling like i was gonna thow up.
my parents and my gp also said it was anxiety, but at the time i never really had something to be truly worried about. so i kept telling them, its not that! i still feel really bad! it began to get to the point where just thinking about it made me feel even worse. then my mum kind of decided for me that it was psychological , and i thought of all those people who get nervous break downs or panic attacks and i thought im not like that, of course its not psychological!
now a days i think about it, and i was at a new school, so every time i felt ill, i didnt really talk to anyone, like a friend. so this left me alone with my own thoughts, which just made me more worried.
i ended up getting acupuncture (even though i hate needles and used to pass out at even just the thought of it), the chinese guy who did it for me (really lovely, if you live in england, essex (unlikely:-D) hes in chelmsford :) ) said that my neck was strained (dont think he was right, but anyway) weather it was because of my neck or because it psychologically helped, ill never know. but i slowly begun to talk to my friends about it, saying that i had low blood pressure and stuff (which actually was true) and when i felt dizzy, i say to them, im feeling a bit sick and dizzy can u walk me to the nurse, and just having someone with me for that walk helped.
i think u should think about if there truly is something worrying. cause if there is, then its a good thing, its easy to deal with. even if your not sure what it is, talk to people about it, dont get stuck in the same routine of getting up and rushing to the bathroom feeling like ur gonna be sick, force your self to go for a stroll in the garden, call a friend. but just dont get stuck with your own mind.
if your almost certain that its not psychological and uve tried everything, then go and see a doctor again, they cant just keep sending u away saying your fine. talk to someone and dont just put up with it.
i really hope u feel better, it REALLY SUCKS.
i can talk more if u need anymore help, or have other questions!

Thanks for the advice I feel better knowing I'm not the only one that feels like this I have an appointment with a psychologist set up and I'm gonna see if that helps and was there any way in the morning a that you could get rid of stress?
that sounds great!
stress...
i think first of all u need to think that there a many people and friends who r going through the same thing! also sometimes decided that u actually cant do this or that, because u physically dont have enough time, no matter how hard it may be to except.
and once again, talk to ur friends, parents, and maybe even 2 ur teachers, they may be able to help work wise or in other school stressy situations!
in the morning, i think u just need to breath. take it slow, maybe go in later to school, make sure uve tried to get everything ready the night before, so u just have to get up calmly and go. i think the worst thing is to give in. its better to manage to get in the car and be sick along the way than to not get out the house. sometimes u might find that its just getting over that first hurdle.
glad it helped, good luck
