Anxious Vomiting?

Mental health

Hi All,

I have been dealing with my anxiety pretty well the past few weeks but I caught a cold and it's set it off a bit. My anxiety was based around my breathing so being bunged up etc has made me a bit anxious. So I woke up this morning at 6am feeling like I needed the toilet and had a horrible taste in my mouth. My stomach felt a bit funny and I started panicking a bit - feeling even the tiniest bit sick sends me into a massive panic. I went to the toilet then sat with my head over the toilet for about 15 mins but I wasn't sick, usually when I am anxious and feeling sick I do the same and nothing ever happens so I know I don't actually need to be sick. So I went back to bed and lay there. All that was going through my mind was 'where would I be sick? 'what would my plan of action be?' 'should I go downstairs where there is a toilet and I won't disturb anyone sleeping?'

Then I felt that feeling and I was sick. Only the tiniest bit. Then I felt better and went back to sleep. Now I've woken up I feel fine too, albeit a little anxious.

Does being sick happen? When I've been nauseas from anxiety I am never usually actually sick. Or maybe it was due to my cold? I had a huge dinner and none of that came up, just a tiny tiny bit!

Hi Georgina. I can refer to my experience with anxiety and sickness feeling. I have been feeling sick for about 5 weeks, non stop. My stomach was like a knot (I could even feel it with my fingers when I pressed on it, it was so hard). I never really got sick, even tho I tried. It was just this sensation of tightness that made me feel sick. Remember anxiety may impact digestive system and the food doesn't go through the process as well as usually, but there is nothing to be concerned about. In fact the more you stress over it the worse it will get. If you can I would suggest you taking something to help with stomach cramping, intestine rekaxer. I was put on one for 2 weeks before and it got rid of pains and feeling sick. Try some chamomile tea or peppermint tea - they are good for your belly and chamomile helps to relax. Good luck girl x
