I feel nauseous all the time but am scared to vomit

Yes, same here, but I suffer from panic attacks. Maybe you should see a Doctor.

Hi i feel nausea all the time mostly at night but it started when i had a bug and threw up for a whole day,since then the thought of me vomiting jut terrifies me. I have had some pretty scary panic attacks when I have felt nausea it gets to a point were i would rather kill myself than vomit, i take anti anxiety pills but they dont really help. I have done many tests and they dont help at all PLEASE help i really cant handle this anymore ...

Why the hell isn't there ANY solution to this, its obviously affecting a ton of people, how the f**k haven't doctors pin pointed this out yet? I mean I have allllll the same symptoms you all have mentioned, feeling naucous alllllll the time, everyday, all day, and its been like this since I was 12, Im almost 21 now, and nothing has worked, the only things that HAVE worked, is keeping completely active and about, or a pill called Zofran ODT, its an anti nausea pill, but it was only perscribed to me when I came down with viral meningitis, so its not an everyday over-the-counter medication, anyways, those only provide LITTLE relief..... I've convinced myself that I'm just insane, that it could be anxiety seeing as though it runs in the family alot, but nothing has worked so far, therapy, pills, weed, I've tried everything in the books, and NOTHING provides a secure relief..... Someone HAS to have an answer for this out there, and I will promote this everywhere until i get a goddamn answer. Good luck to all you fellow sufferers.... I know how it is, how it feels to just.... Want to die when you wake up to that feeling every morning, one of these days Im sure ill give up and let my feelings get the best of me, but until then Ill keep trying my best looking for an answer. Thanks for listening people!

Guys! I am so sorry you all are so sick. But to be honest you aren't "sick" you just have anxiety. I know because I had it bad and didn't go to school for 3 months! Go to a phycolagist and tell him how you feel. I took resperidol for about 6 months and it helped a lot. I would still be taking them but I can't cause I'm pregnant. But I now have no anxiety or nausea :) I also saw a therapist every Monday. It really helped. She taught me a lot of coping strategies and I feel so much better that I can be in public with out getting sick. My doctor told me I had agoraphobia , fear of being in a populated area .

Btw: DO NOT SMOKE MARIJUANA!!!! it makes everything 1000000000x worse! It causes anxiety to worsen. Weed smokers will tell you different but believe me I know I used to be a pott head. And everytime I thought about or did smoke it got worse and now that I've been sober, I am cured :)

Hi everyone, wow! Thought I was weird for feeling this way but many of you have listed the exact same symptoms I've been feeling for the past 2 years. I am so afraid of vomiting (especially in public) that it has changed my life - missing work and traveling less, and it is because of my anxiety! I find that I cannot relax when I'm away from home without finding a clear "exit" first, like sitting beside a door or bathroom. It is very stressful, and recently hypnosis has been suggested to me. I am seriously considering it and am wondering if anyone else has thought about it?

I think I've had this feeling for the longest out of all of you. I've had Emetophobia for the past 8 years, it started when I was about 8 years old. My family hardly ever got sick, but one night while I was in the bath, I suddenly threw up. It was the scariest thing I'd ever experienced in my life, and it scarred me. I saw many different doctors who all said they could help me but they couldn't. At the start, I was so terrified of being sick, that I completely stopped eating and drinking - and after nearly a week, my parents took me to the hospital. I had to be carried into and out of the car and through the hospital doors because I was so weak. 

I am now 16, and I am still as scared as ever. I even find it really hard to shower or wash my hair because it was in the bath where I first threw up. But I'm at the point now where I've seen so many doctors and tried so many things that I just couldn't be bothered anymore, and I'm tired of my life. I panic a lot when I comes to going out anywhere because I'm away from my comfort zone, and I get panic attacks really frequently.

I have the same problem and it's causing me to miss school. I stay in the office and tell my parents but my mom tells me I'm just hungry and my dad says I'm fine. This goes on for a while and I'm told I'm fine but the flu is going around so I don't know if it's just me or of I'm really sick. My parents are annoyed by it so they still send me to school even if it gets worse in the day. I have tried eating but I'm allergic to gluten and the crackers I have arent good and the taste makes it worse

I'm so glad I've found this. I'm a 13 year old girl too. And since about June since I was nearly sick in my head teachers office due to a migraine before flying to a holiday that night. When I got to my holiday place I was totally fine and it was amazing and never felt sick once. But ever since that migraine I've been really feeling sick all the time. I HATE being sick because I always seem to choke on it and it's just gross. I hate it. But recently since coming back to school I've been feeling sick in the mornings and pretending I am ill and can't go to school. And my attendance this year so far is terrible from all this time off! And I never seem to gag but I get the feeling I'm actually gonna vomit. I also suffer from migraines and constipation. Is that causing it?? Please help me. I seriously need help :( I havnt been sick since April 2010 and I think it's about time I should be sick but I don't want to. When I feel as sick as this, I just wanna get it out of me but I don't, if u kno what I mean.. PLEASE HELP. I don't even know who to tell about this, I don't want to tell my mum though..

It's weird. Whenever I'm at home I never feel fine but if I leave the house for any reason like grocery shopping, going to school etc. I get nausea feelings and it drives my parents crazy. I told my mom about it and she said " You just need to get out more ". I still think getting treatment would be the best option, now if only I could get my parents to agree with me.

Ah this sucks! I have been dealing with this myself for 15 years now! The only thing that calms it is actually vomiting With or without an empty stomach. 

like many , I cannot go out or meet people cause the fear of having to excuse myself or be aware of where the bathroom is at. 

The only thing that lets me live my social life is taking Ativan. I have to take a lot of milligrams and I get so high then I dont feel anything but happiness. I have no thoughts or feelings about anxiety Or vomiting. I wish I did not have to take it and getting it from the doctors is always a hassle. Truthfully this does not fix the problem , only does a really good job of masking and hiding your anxiety temporary. I am glad I have the Ativan but I want to take control of my axieties and feel that confidence once again.

I also have to carry something to drink everywhere I go, usually root beer or ginger ale.

I wanted to reply to this as I think the doctors response could trigger further anxieties in a lot of people who Google this.

I have this issue on and off after having gastroenteritis last Christmas. I had such bad stomach pain for such a long time and nobody knew what it was. I know think it was probably post viral/infectious IBS.

Anyway, my point is, I'm pretty sure that in all or at least most of you this is stress related. Once I start realising that my nausea is due to anxiety, strangely, I start to calm down. And you must eat! I am borderline anorexic because of my fear, but when I actually eat I do feel better. Believe me, you can beat anxiety and your feelings of nausea will pass. Exercise, having fun and breathing exercises help, as I hold my stomach muscles very tensely with nerves and I'm sure this exacerbates the problem. That's a great book, feel the fear and do it anyway - read it! And don't panic - it's just a feeling. Xx

Me too. I'm 14 years old and I have the exact same problem. I'm scared of throwing up and don't know what's wrong with me. You said five years but mine has only been for sick six months now. I wonder if anyone could fix this.

WOW!!!!! That's crazy.
