stomach ulcer? anxiety?

 my son has done this for years, he's now 16. I did it as a child too. with my son, its a combination of allergies and stress. He doesn't have it on weekends or summer vacations etc. Only during the week when school is in session. But sometimes even if you have no other symptoms you can drainage into your stomach that will subside as the day goes. What helps is a benedryl at bedtime. Have your time before bed, don't go straight from games or an activity that is keeping your brain stimulated to trying to sleep and being restless. You need to have down time, drawing or reading or something you like that isn't a constant stimulation. give yourself time to wind down to sleep. Take a shower or something in the morning and eat yourself some crackers, maybe some yogurt. If it is drainage and your stomach it is so sour and you don't think you can hold anything down, usually crackers actually absorb that drainage and you start to feel better. and at my worst stomach aches i can take some pepto and a peppermint and be good within about 10 minutes. I think with school also, it is something that is a have to do, a dread that sits on kids. It hasn't been their choice like going to college or a career. You have to have something to look forward to everyday. You have to have plenty of sleep and even on the weekends, don't go too far off your schedule, that will make monday and tues the sickest days of the week, just trying to get your routine back on track. believe it or not foods and exercise play a big part. try not to eat alot of greasy or sugar filled foods. most people don't really realize what those things are. pasta, pizza, potatoes, breaded meats, breads are all full of sugar, meat and veggies are actually good for you. protein and fiber....alos alot of kids go to school dehydrated, they don't feel good in the morning and a drink from a water machine just doesn't cut it. carrying water to school with you would be a good idea.

so my advice is routine, down time and something to look forward to everyday eating well and exercise.

during your down time, find one great thing about tomorrow.

if you can't eat in the morning, try crackers (vitamins) crushed ice (pepto and a peppermint helps) and eat a substantial amt of food as soon as you are feeling better, atleast by lunch.

maybe put some peanut butter crackers in your backpack or locker, if you can eat before lunch. This will go away when you start making your own decisions and don't keep so much dread. Oh and also, does your school have VITAL, online classes you can take at home instead of the morning classes at school... it does cost money, here its about time to sign up for next semester. email your school or ask your councelor...

i bet the idea of vital just made you feel better, huh. well vital is something i'm doing for my kid. i want him to like school and think about college. college is nothing like hs and he can take some classes online there too and choose his class schedule. college is not all day, everyday even. Do something you love for the rest of your life... not what you have to....hs is just such a small part of your life. i work at home doing what i love to do.

 

I am going to the gastroenterologist tomorrow but i am almost positive i have an peptic ulcer cause i have every symptom. Upper abdominal pain, hurts like hell in the morning, absolutely no appetite, in fact just the site of food makes any form of appetite or desire to eat go away, eating is painful, but i find if i don't eat that my stomach pain gradually gets worse. I wouldn't say that i have severe abdominal pain but sometimes it gets pretty bad especially when i eat sometimes i feel like im going to throw up if i eat another bite. Also i find myself having these acidic burps. anything i put into my stomach makes me burp. water makes me burp. I also have sweaty palms all the time which confuses me because to my knowledge sweaty palms has nothing to do with a peptic/duodenal ulcer or any kind of stomach related disease that matches my symptoms.

Just to give you a little play by play on my day of symptoms....
when i wake up my stomach hurts. acute upper abdominal pain is the only stomach pain i experience. i would describe it as a dull pain

the pain eventually either simmers down to a point where i think to myself that it isnt even bad enough to complain about but it still makes me feel just crappy and in a whiny mood because im uncomfortable. Sometimes the pain goes away completely but never for more then a couple hours. id be lucky to go an hour completely pain free.

then just the thought of lunch or even the smell of lunch gets my stomach hurting and no appetite. i then force myself to eat my meal.
stomach continues to hurt for atleast two hours if not more. Again most times the pain wont entirely go away and just comes in small waves.

the same thing happens with dinner.

do duodenal/peptic ulcers cause sweaty palms?

Yeah I kind of have the same thing but instead feel the violent urg to throw up and nothing comes out, I burp. It's really weird. It started a couple of weeks ago. When I come back from my trip I'm heading straight for the doctors!

hi i have the same thing i get a sore upper stomach and i get there yuck tasting burps i had blood test to check my white blood cells urine checks my organs to see any infection i always had chest pain and had a xray done i have been to hospital twice sent me home because i am healthy but anxiety can do alot of hings to your body and the main organ that it affects is the stoamch when i do eat i will still have a grumbling stomach a little while after that i get funny vision and sometimes light headed i get pin and needles and chest pain .. i get the shakes and all the time find it hard to breath i have been checked and always making sure my symptoms are normal .. if i dont get A good nights sleep i feel worse the  next day stress anxiety all the types of problems can do A LOT TO YOUR BODY i always freak out and think i have a serious illness but my doctor and the hospital have both told me i am healthy but when your body plays up all the times it can be hard to beilive nothings wrong. I am booked in to see sommeone about my anxiety. hopefully it helps me

I have the same exact problem and I feel depressed at times I can never eat without feeling like throwing up

I have felt this way for four years. I don't feel good because my stomachs always hurts but I can never throw up, I went to the doctor 3 years ago and had a CT scan and they couldn't find anything. I've started to get panic attacks when I'm in silent situations (like taking a test) because I feel like I can't leave or that my stomache will make weird noises. I've gotten to the point where I don't want to go to school anymore. I've got just under two years of high school left, and I'm just willing myself through every single day. I'm going to go to the doctor tomorrow to check for anxiety, but I'm a strait A student and I've started doing terribly on all my tests because the testing situation freaks me out. I really don't know what to do anymore :(

I've expierenced the EXACT thing you said in this. It can't get any more exact. Im tired of it. I dont know what to do anymore. The docter prescribed stomach acid pills everyday and I take b-12 energy pills too. But it seems like it goes away for a week and then comes back randomly. But Its gotten better. It used to be everyday where I missed school because I was scared I'd have to leave. It was ruining y social life as well. I just stayed home every weekend. Do you think I have a stomach ulcer? I saw a therapist and my parents are convincing me its just anxiety. But, i always feel like Im going to throw up and never have I once. I need help.

My dear, trust in Jehovah God, He is the only solution to all humans problems.

You're going to read this and be like "wtf...?" but it works for me. I wouldn't say I'm "anti-drug" but when there's an ailment that can be fixed without medication I tend to try it first. Drink about 2 tablespoons of pickle juice. And if you don't like the taste of pickles, try 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Try it. Hope it helps you as it has helped me tremendously. Best of luck.

I am the same, i don't know what to do, i am off school all the time and i want to go to school but my brain is telling me that im worrying about things and i end up not going. When ever i decide to go to school i either.... 1- throw up 2- have bad pains 3- every morning And im fed up, i wake up an hour earlier for school, i don't make up, my brain wakes me up coz im worrying even though i have no idea what im worrying about. School gets harder for me as i cant ever leave ma house. My mam and dad r there for me and i love them to bits, i just hate this.

Same thing just started with me. When I wake up I fell nauseated and my stomache feels terrible it lasts for a few hours then fades and comes back before I fall asleep. I thought I had the flu or something but its been about a week and a half and I am going to see a docter soon. All of these comments are starting to scare me. :(:

I have the same exact thing in the morning and I just get anxious because I think I'm going to throw up
