OK, I'm not sure if I worded the title right but I can't write it any other way. What I mean by real nausea is something caused by something like the Norovirus or some other illness that causes nausea.
Is there any difference between this 'real' nausea and anxiety nausea? Or is it all the same? I haven't been sick in several years, so I cannot remember what 'real' nausea feels like.
I feel nauseous everyday, and not all day now (thank god..), and often I won't eat because I feel that nauseous. The thought of food makes me worse. It scares me sometimes because I even get that tingling sensation in my face, and some people have said they get that before they throw up.
The only way I can tell if it's anxiety nausea is if it disappears when I'm doing something to distract myself I guess, or when I'm relaxed and not think about it. OR, if I don't experience any other symptoms, like upset stomach, headaches etc. Because like now, I feel a bit nauseous but I don't have stomach aches or anything.
I would like to see what other people say about this. Sorry if this seems like a stupid thread, but I'm awfully curious to see what others say.
