Hey, here's my story. I have anxiety. I get nauseous some of my "bad nights." It usually happens at night. It started about November 2020. I will explain more down below. So, starting back in November 2020. I was doing physical activities. I drank a lot of water. Once I got in the car, I really panicked. Just the thought of having the stomach flu, or vomiting would just be horrible. I could see myself in my head vomiting and crying and being so scared. I didn't vomit. But it traumatized me. So much, I would get nausea each NIGHT. Notice how it would very rarely happen in the daytime. Just before I went to bed. That fear would stick to me, and it still does, as I type this. There was this one time I knew how miserable I felt when I got nauseous, I was crying so hard, because I was so nauseous, and I was begging not to be nauseous, knowing that begging wouldn't help anything. I was crying so hard I was trying to take a deep breath. I was pacing the room. I was dizzy. I thought I might pass out. I still had nausea, but I went to sleep. When I woke up, I was fine. Luckily, I have a medication that works absolute wonders for me. It is called hydroxizine, and it is mainly for anxiety nausea, and vomiting. Keep and mind I don't have any vomiting when that happens. I have gotten acid medication for it, but I am not 100 percent sure that it is working. I am getting an endoscopy scheduled. I may also need tips on how to not be nervous, and stay call during that procedure. Feel free to make any comments, questions, and suggestions etc, as those make me happy to read and respond to
Hi Lavender. How are you feeling today? I have the exact same problem and have Emetephobia which I think you may have too. It can completely debilitate you with fear and anxiety on the onset of nausea.
I have been battling with nausea for about 3 weeks now and my body feels like it is shutting down as a result because I absolutely hate being sick.
I am one to talk as I am having a terrible moment and nothing seems to be helping me, but just letting you know that something like Emetephobia exists and sometimes recognising it helps if you are wanting to go on support forums for it etc.
