Nausea

[bananarbabe]

Do any of you experience feelings of nausea when you're anxious or having a PA? It's one I'm currently feeling and I'm not sure if its a anxiety symptom

[mjh74]

Definitely! That's one of my main ones and I think you'll find a lot of other people's too. As soon as my heart rate increases I start to feel my stomach generate acid and I start to feel really icky.

Regards,

Mark

How do you cope with the increased acid? Any home remedies or over the counter medication?

[mjh74]

I usually take a couple of antacids to calm my stomach which usually seems to help it.

Tonic water..

As soon as you get a bit ancy get the extra gas produced by the chemical reactions in your nervous tummy out.

A few swigs of tonic can induce burps to rid yourlsef of those bubbles just ingested and those gently being fermented inside.
Tonic is more gassy than the usual sparkling soft drinks so gets it going more easily.

This reduces nausea hugely.

Banarnababe,

I have this problem too. I took Megs advice, to swig tonic water..I use American ginger ale too. It really does work.
Also, if you have problems with eating, try Megs fruit and nut mix. I bought some and its delicious. I have some in the mornings when I cant face anything else.

Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Vernon,

What are peppermint capsules? I get the queasiness in the morning as well. Could I just take some peppermint candies?
