Answers:
I cringed inside and wanted to cry when I read this!. I can withstand a lot but when it comes to my emetophobia, I'm a complete mess!. I feel for you and I'm so sorry that you're going through this!. You need to keep up your fluids though, you're going to get really really sick if you don't!. I recommend that if you can't then you go to the hospital and they'll put you on an IV drip!. What helps me is lying on my back and taking deep breathes, in through your nose and make your tummy fat as you can and then breath out through your mouth and make your tummy go back to normal!. I hope that it passes really really soon!

Honestly, I'd go to the ER or Urgent Care!. They can give you IV fluid and something to help with nausea!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
