Nausea from anxiety?

[Charlie2016]

Hi all Im sure this has been covered before but as a newbie and home alone feeling VERY scared I'm wondering does anyone get wave of nausea from anxiety (sometimes without even feeling anxious)??

anyone who can help or comment PLEASE PLEASE do. (Sitting here in bits :( )

Absolutely, I get periods of nausea all the time. Anxiety really messes with our stomachs whether you're feeling it at the time or not.

So sorry u are going thru it too/ its awful isn't it. On top of anxiety it adds more anxiety

I get a lot of nausea from anxiety.
Last year I went through a phase of forcing myself to vomit to relieve the symptoms. Until I damaged my esophagus. Now I'm terrified of vomiting in case it causes the same damage.
I usually sip on some plain water until the feeling passes.

yes and burning stomach.

Yes, every morning without fail. I usually end up dry retching as can't eat either.

I suffer with Ibs so get the nausea feeling I've never been sick but because of the anxiety my appetite just goes completely and I've lost weight since Christmas I've lost a stone and a half, I start to eat again get my appetite back then the ibs and anxiety starts again and my appetite goes again so any weight I gained quickly dissappears again

Hi thanks so much for the reply - the burning face went away (another bloody anxiety symptom I think ). The nausea comes and goes and its just miserable (and terrifying).

Thanks again.

thanks for the reply - so sorry u have this too - its a bloody nightmare isn't it. I do hope u are feeling ok. It comes and goes with me but its up there as both a trigger and a symptom of anxiety for me.
Thanks again - hope you're well.

hi thanks for the reply - yes it REALLY does mess with our stomachs - oh I'm a mess. Good to know though that u can feel it when not feeling particularly anxious (which makes sense considering i guess Im always in some form of anxiety state)

thanks again.
Hope u are well.

Hi thanks to u too for the reply - gosh that is harsh - i do hope u are okay and obviously i understand your fear. Its pretty rotten alright and sabotages so much.
Thanks again and I hope u are doing well.

I have this a lot sometimes in public to that really freaks me out a lot

[Charlie2016]

thanks so much guys for all your wisdom and experiences it really helps to know "its not just me". I wish you all health and happiness and anxiety free/ibs free days ahead.

Hi Charlie :)
Yeah I get nausea when too. I think it's a really common symptom of anxiety, so you're definitely not alone. If you have a fear of being sick, there is a lot of posts about emetophobia under the phobia section on this forum. Might be worth checking out if that's how you feel.

Hope this helps :)
