Question: Anxiety and Nausea !.!.!. !?!?
I have had problems with nausea since I was a little girl!. Now I am 20!. I have gotten many blood tests but I don't have anything medically wrong with me!. I know that it is related to anxiety!. I am on meds for anxiety and depression, and they help, but I'm still nauseous a lot!. I was at a point in my life like 4 years ago where I didn't even want to leave the house out of fear of vomiting in public!. I have a big fear of vomiting in public!. I know it's an irrational fear, but I've had it for a long time!. I'm 20 years old and I find it hard to do a lot of things because of this!. I have many days of work due to this!. It's hard because I never know if I'm really sick or if it's just the anxiety again!. I live with my mother who gets completely frustrated with me!. Right now I'm supposed to be helping her with money, but I haven't been working much so she's upset!. My job is a temp kob so they arent too strict but I know a perm job wont put up w/it!.

I also suffer panic attacks and have an intense fear fo vomiting!. I will not eat when I am out, has nothing to do with weight, but with my fear!. I have been like this since I was 12 ( I am now 32)!. I have been able to cope and use cognitive behavioral strategies to help me and am a functioning therapist!.!.ironically! i was on a slew of antidepressants, which did not help my anxiety!. I now take klonopin which does help!. I also have had a slew of GI tests and i do have diverticulitis which i do get nauseas from and it starts a cycle!. at times i do take anti-nausea medicine which is a help!. Sometimes I just carry dramamine with me which makes me feel like I have some control of it, even if i don't take it!. You may want to ask your dr about the med hydroxizine, which is an antihistamine, but also has antianxiety AND antinausea properties!. That helped me a great deal at one time!. Good luck, and thanks for asking this question, glad I am not the only one out there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Why don't you try going to a therapist!? or talk to your medical dr!. and explain that you have anxiety and need something to help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You know what, I had a friend that had the same exact same thing as you!. They didn't know what was wrong with her, they thought that maybe the medicines were causing all of this and it was!. So they made her stop taking them and as weird as this sounds, they put her on medical marijuana and she got ALL better!. Seriously, this is not a joke either!. They gave her a specific kind though!. It helped her with her depression, cause duh, marijuana does that to you lol, makes you happy!. She started to get much more mellow with the anxiety!. I suffer from anxiety myself, I know what you mean, sucks huh!. And yea, she started to eat more often with no nausea and vomiting!. But overall, once her anxiety went away she got much happier which made her depression go away!. Maybe you should consider trying it out!. And if you don't, well maybe you should try some different medication!. Anyways I hope I helped you and im so sorry about how you feel!. You must be extremely thin and tiered all the time!. I hope you get better! **hugs**

anxiety is a companion to depression!. a social phobia is very difficult to deal with as is anxiety and depression!.depression alone has physiological effects!. they are abdominal pain, anorexia, chest pain, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, headache, indigestion, insomnia, menstrual changes, nausea and vomiting, and sexual dysfunction!. maybe it is the depression doing this to you!. i know that since i have been fully diagnosed, i have the right medications and right dosages where i am not unable to leave the house anymore!. i still prefer not to, but am no longer afraid and anxiety ridden!. maybe, you aught to look into why you still feel so much nausea and anxiety!. maybe you need to see a counselor to be sure you are diagnosed woth the correct things and that these are not symptoms of an existing depression!. one can feel much better, but not be completely better!. you may have to do more for you in order to reduce this fear!. counseling is what i found to be the answer!. you can also take some prilosec, but i think that there are more psychological symptoms going on!. good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
With any physical problems you are having because of anxiety there is something mental causing it!. If you can find what your triggers are you can help fight it!. I have suffered from anxiety since I was about in 3rd grade!. Only I don't throw up!.!.!.It comes out the other way and with no warning!. Its awful!. I too used to get panicky about going any where public!. I have had many abusive figures in my life and they were huge contributors to my problem!. now I have nothing to do with my father, divorced my husband, and stay away from my messed up family!. It has been over a year since I have had an attack!. My sister was on effexor and in my opinion it made her worse!. She was way more paranoid on that medication!. You know yourself better than any therapist!. Do some real soul searching and find out what makes you tick!. Meditation is a wonderful way to center yourself and control your mind!. A good book on that (and its easy to understand) is the Inner Temple of Witchcraft by Christopher penczak!. Don't let the title scare you!. lol!. If your mother is more stressful than helpful maybe it is time for you to branch out!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
