i'm 16 and ive had this problem for only 3 months however its not going away, reading these im afraid i will have it for years on. Ofcorse it dosen't help i have a phobia of throwing up infront of people so its terrible in school, and since its my GCSE's i try to stay in everyday but its horrible! I never am sick tho, only feel like i will be mostly after i eat anything. I will try the Ginger and pray it works! else i'm in for a miserable few years ):
My friend was missing school a lot because she was feeling sick and nauseous. So she went to the doctor and it turned out she was allergic to gluten. Maybe you should ask the doctor about that or try cutting gluten out of your diet and see it that helps.
Hi, I have the same problem with anxiety and nausea as you guys do, I've been suffering with it since I was 14, I'm 26 now.
I have to say, it's kind of reasurring reading your comments, I've always felt so isolated with my condition and felt like I was the only person in the world who suffered this way.
I've never been to the doctors with this, though I have tried anti-nausea tablets that only made things worse, also I have had hypnotherapy which has done wonders to ease my anxiety, but there are some things I still can't get over.
First (and most bothersome): The Dentist.
I get extremely nausiated and start vomiting even thinking of my checkup, and I can very depressed and worried about it even months in advance, but I know I have to go because knowing my luck, I'd end up with tooth ache. I think the reason why therapy didn't help with this is because I find it difficult to tell myself that everything will be ok, when I know it won't neccesarily be the case, especially since my dentist has been threatening to remove my wisdom teeth for some time, and I really don't think I could cope with that.
Also, recently I started a college course to train as an illustrator as I have always been told I have a nautural talent for drawing, but now I find myself feeling anxious about starting my projects, as unlike before when I only drew for myself, now my work has to be assessed by professionals, and I feel nervous that my work won't measure up to their standards.
Sorry, I seemed to have written alot here, though it is kind of nice to get this stuff off my chest with people who understand what I'm going through.
I had heard that ginger extract is good for nausea, especially seasickness and morning sickness, but I didn't know it worked if the nausea was phychological, I might give that a go, thanks!

i know what every single one of you ladies are talking about; im 17 and all of a sudden one day became extremly nauseated; and this started when i was about 15. I tried everything from sipping soda to drs appointments but nothing helped. What usually helps me is spitting, i found out that saliva actually causes for nausea so spitting in a cup while nauseated will sometimes help. My dr also prescribed me a prescription that only worked about half the time, but to me it was a big relief cause i atleast thought it was better then being nauseated everyday. I still get nausea usually when im in the shower, or right before bed, but just to let you know nausea is only a physcologic issue. Which basically means it in your head, so if you dont think about it as much, you wont feel it as much. Usually texting or watching tv keeps me distracted and help quite a bit. If it doesnt help then id recommend what the other ladies suggested with the ginger ale and rest.
Heres my prescription name - Zofran
When you ask for it, make sure u ask for a good amount like 40-50 pills that way you dont have to return to the drs every two weeks to ask for a refill. Their lil yellow pills. And another thing, make sure you sit up 2 hours after eating in case you get night time nausea.

OMG you just described what im going through (apart from the bullying bit) but i have just had glandular fever and it took 9 doctors to find that out over the course of 2 months , and they thought i had IBS but im not sure but im still ill and i was feeling sick so i googled how to get rid of the nausea and bam here i am , but what i found helps is to get a towel and run it under the cold tap and ring it out and put it on your stomach and also put the kettle on and fill a bucket about 1/4 full with the hot water and inhale the steam , iknow it sounds crazy but trust me it works because it takes your mind off being sick and if you are sick then its in a bucket and cause it takes your mind off being sick its not so bad
Hello, I've had the same problem my whole life! I'm only fifteen right now, but since I was two, I've had stomach aches just about non-stop. Doctors said that I have anxiety issues, but I only get anxious AFTER I get nauseous, so that didn't make sense. When I was eight, they gave me "pills" whenever I felt sick. But when those failed (they were sugar pills), they did some weird radioactive tests on me, and found nothing. After that, they would send me to a counselor who, whenever I got nauseous, would play with me until I forgot about it. But now, being a teenager, I don't go to her anymore, although I still try to distract myself whenever I start feeling sick, which works about 90% of the time. Sorry, I guess distracting yourself would be the only suggestion I have, I'm mainly just happy I'm not the only one who seems to have the same problem. :)
I went to Kroger when I was feeling sick all day and I asked them what would cure my nausea and they said to drink 7 up or Ginger Ale... for me it only prevented me from vomiting so the feeling carried over to the day after :'(. Sometimes its just best to go ahead and vomit. xp
I have this a lot I'm tired of it!!!!! I need help on how to stop my nausea.
I have this same issue. I'm 15 years old. It started last year right before I entered high school. I figured that the reason I was vomiting was because I was nervous about entering high school. I vomited almost everyday for several weeks, maybe 3 or four months. I was missing allot of school as well. I was very, very stressed and upset. I went to the doctor and was given two medications. They seemed to help a little bit. They didn't make the feeling completely go away, though. As I went through high school and got used to things, the vomiting stopped. By the end of the year, my nausea was basically completely gone. It still comes up fairly often, though. I've decided that anxiety has something to do with the feeling. However, I think that the majority of the problem is psychological. I've found a website that has given me some helpful tips on controlling my nausea. The link is below. Basically, It says my nausea comes from worrying, or anxiety. It seems to help me sometimes. Read all the way through and you'll be surprised how the 'tips' seem to help. Good luck! And remember- you're obviously not alone. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/anxiety_self_help.htm
Hi, I had this problem for about a year. I went to see my doctor and he suggested taking out the food that contain a lot of acid, fat, and he did allergy test. It came back that I was allergic to soy. It is not a major life threatening reaction, but it is enough to make you feel like staying in bed all day with nausea. Maybe you are allergic to something you are eating... just a thought.
Po Chai Pills
This is my favourite of all alternative treatments, I’ve always thought of it as a secret chinese medicine that cures nausea, stomach aches in an instant. Its definitely something that I always carry with me when I travel overseas. They come in small bottles which contain tiny red balls, but whenever I’ve used them, they’ve provided almost instant relief.
Hi Everyone,
So sorry to hear of your suffering. My daughter was 12 years old and suffered with horrible nausea for over a year. They gave her a special test and determined that she had biliary dyskinesia which refers to abnormal gallbladder function characterized by right upper quadrant abdominal pain (sometimes radiating to the upper back or shoulder blades) after eating fatty or fried foods, with nausea and vomiting or bloating, followed by diarrhea. The excess build up of pressure in the bile ducts is thought to be responsible for these typical gallbladder symptoms.1

The excess build up of pressure in the bile ducts is thought to be responsible for these typical gallbladder symptoms.1
Diagnosis
The symptoms of biliary dyskinesia can be the exact symptoms of many other illnesses such as symptomatic gallstones and other stomach disorders. Therefore, testing is required to rule out other illnesses and help confirm this condition. A routine abdominal ultrasound used to rule out gallstones is done. Often, upper endoscopy of the stomach is performed. Routine blood tests as described in the section on gallstones are helpful. Usually, all these tests are normal. No gallstones, sludge or polyps are seen in the gallbladder on ultrasound. The next step involves nuclear medicine, tests which measure the gallbladder's uptake of bile and its ability to contract and expel bile. Abnormal nuclear tests in the patient with a convincing history point to the diagnosis.

Treatment.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, removal of the gallbladder, is the treatment of biliary dyskinesia. Careful consultation with the surgeon is very important before this surgery as the tests and history to diagnosis this condition are not as ironclad as gallstones. Some patients may not have a resolution of all their symptoms after removal of the gallbladder.

Correct Diagnosis
Due to the similar symptoms of Crohn's disease and biliary dyskinesia, diagnosis can be difficult. The most common form of testing for biliary dyskinesia is a CCK-HIDA scan. This procedure utilizes nuclear medicine and a camera to visualize the contraction of the gallbladder. A correct diagnosis is essential because patients with biliary dyskinesia typically require a cholecystectomy, or removal of the gallbladder.

Im 19 and ive got this same problem. It seems to be really bad if i have a head ache or if ive had the flu. But i seem to recover. Ive been to gastroenterologist and he has diagnosed me with gastroparesis (abnormal stomach muscle). He has given me a drug called motillium which is like an anti nausea drug. It doesnt seem to help but he said if I take it regularly, it will start to help in time. He also said eventually the condition should recede. I hope I dont have to live with this for much longer. Its not pleasant at all. Ill give ginger a try for the instant relief!
