So I’m getting two tattoos for my 21st birthday! Yay I guess. I’m really worried the pain will be too much and it’ll make me feel sick. I’m worried it’s like a blood draw, because those I get really nauseous. Does anyone have any advice about it? I got 9 days to prepare.
I have been getting this feeling for a long time now. Everytime i go out to do something alone or with my friends if its eating or even getting an haircut i start feeling lightheaded and i get a feeling that im going to faint mildly. Then it is followed by nausea and stomach cramps. All of this makes me claustrophobic. I tried etizolam for a month but it hasnt made me any better. Has anybody been experiencing the same?
Background: I've been incredibly anxious since I can remember, as early as 8-10 y/o. I'd wake up in the middle of the night occasionally as a kid and anxiously pace around my room in the darkness because I felt like I was going to get sick. This persisted through my teenage years into early adulthood. My anxieties focus mostly on health/hypochondria. I'm currently not on any anxiety medications.
However, within the last week, I have been feeling persistent nausea that waxes and wanes throughout the day. I'll have a brief moment of relief, 20-30 minutes with no nausea and all I can think about is "is it gonna come back, is it over?". This is incredibly rough as someone with hypochondria/health anxiety because now I am convinced I have some sort of underlying cancer causing this nausea. It has really impacted my eating, as I cannot even think about food when anxious/nauseous, and it seems my brain has somewhat linked eating to nausea cause it tends to come with eating. I went to an urgent care recently and they prescribed me zofran odt, ive been taking it but it doesnt really seem to work? I have read that anxiety nausea doesnt really get quelled for a lot of people with zofran. The only thing that tends to give me relief has been some CBD/THC gummies I have. If I take 2.5mg of one of those I can usually feel no nausea and yesterday I even ate an entire meal during it.
The feeling is very specifically in my throat, i have no stomach pain, fatigue, fever anything, just nausea. Has anyone had experience with daily nausea and if so what are some things you have done to help deal with it.
Hi!
It’s my birthday and my best friend made me pancakes from for it using eggs from the corner shop, after eating I’ve learnt that the outbreak is linked to imported eggs. I’m terrified and kind of spiralling, I have a lot to do today and I fear i’ve ruined my day with the first meal.
Like the title says. They never got sick but what made my husband & I realize something was wrong was they started gagging and coughing & passed out. It was obviously heat exhaustion (it was over 100F & they work outside) but the entire time my husband & their spouse were nursing them back to health I was spiraling. We see this friend atleast once a week if not more and now I can’t even think about seeing them again
i had a bad meltdown today that set me back n now i seriously feel like im ready to kill mhself. i just can’t live anymore with this fucking phobia. it controls my life. anytime i feel the slightest bit nauseous, my body shuts down. i’m housebound n missed so many important things. ill never get better. i’m just so tired n i think im ready to go. can i pls talk to someone?
I haven’t thrown up in 20 years since I was like 5, so a lot of my phobia comes from fear of the unknown. How do you know when it’s for sure going to happen. Like what’s the switch from “I’m feeling nauseous” to “oh I HAVE to throw up?
I have ocd and after a lot of prepping and telling myself that nothing will happen the worst happened. I was traveling home from a late night function and sat at the front of the bus. A guy sat next to me who was VERY drunk and I was alarmed instantly. I tried to tell myself that it was going to be alright until he suddeny started to throw up on the floor right at our feet. I’m actually proud how nonchalant I managed to be for the first minute until I had a full blown panic attack and started to cry infront of the whole bus. It was the last bus (the next one came like at 5am and this was at 1am) and I just couldn’t get off and I couldn’t really move because the dude sat next to me and the vomit was on the floor anyways. There was still around 15min to go.
I had no other choice than to push through it. So I sat there and cried while the dude just passed out or something. I called my friend and we talked about some nice things and she calmed me down pretty well. I was still crying. My stop finally came and I had to ask the guy to move and stepped over the pile of vomit.
At the same time I’m both terrified and proud of myself. I let myself to be out so late because I told myself so many times that nobody is going to vomit and then somebody did. Now I have the feeling that I’m never going to go out again. But then I’m also proud of myself for pushing through that horrible situation. I survived it and managed to think rationally over my fear. For me others vomiting has always been worse than me vomiting so this was very scary experince for me.
But yeah I just wanted to share this in here and kinda celebrate my survival and kinda cry with you guys.
Im getting IV sedation for a wisdom tooth extraction tomorrow and spiralling. My anxiety hasn’t been this high in a long time. Im scared it’s going to make me really nauseous and vomit. I already asked them for anti-nausea in my IV but I’m worried that it won’t work. I’m scared about being very dizzy. Im sitting here literally trembling in fear and bawling my eyes out. I feel like I can’t do this. Im such a weak person
Last night me and my boyfriend were going to my house from work with a McDonald’s, he hands me the burger and I took a bite of it then gave it back to him.
This was such a mistake as 4 hours later I wake up and hear him projectile vomiting and start panicking
He’s like “this came out of nowhere idk what’s going on” and I felt so bad but I can’t handle vomit at all I was having a panic attack and left to sleep in the living room for the rest of the night (did not get one blink of sleep)
Now it’s 10pm the day after and I’m starting to feel a bit nauseous although I haven’t really eaten food all day and haven’t slept much either and I can’t tell if it’s coming on or if I’m just being over paranoid.
I actually called my doctor and asked for an anti vomiting med and he gave me Valoid although I’m not sure if I can take it as a precaution going to sleep?
Everyone seems to think it’s not that deep but it is for me I’ve washed my hands about 50 times today and it’s the only thing I am thinking about at the minute
i ate a starbucks grilled cheese and a coffee frappuccino and i feel absolutely awful this was at 9am it’s now 3pm. tmi but i have went to the bathroom 4 times since snd it was very loose and my stomach doesn’t feel better after and im sweating my stomach hurts and is crampy i have that gagish feeling in my throat im so scared man i feel like it will happen i have terrible stomach issues and stuff like what i ate doesn’t sit well at all. i swear i feel it in my throat i think it’s gonna happen i want to sob and die but it will make me feel more nauseous but i dont know how that’s possible at this point. its getting worse and worse it comes in waves with feeling okay but still off then feeling absolutely horrific and in the past when i felt like this it ended up happening in the end. its not going away ive drank water im freaking out someone please tell me what to do
My stomach hurts so bad. I think it might be gas pain but idk. I'm also coughing a lot because my throat hurts and I'm scared, looking for someone to distract me.
So im a long time emetophobe and i also have an IUD. for a special occasion, i finally decided to skip the protection, but now im so scared that the 1% of people who get pregnant with an IUD is gonna be me and its gonna give me morning sickness and make me throw up… Im really scared and I feel like i shouldn’t have done this and i want to take a pregnancy test like right this second but its only been a week.. i was so stupid, i can’t deal with this, it’s gonna be forever until i can put my worries to ease and even then i might be completely screwed.
So i had breakfast in the morning. It was normal breakfast (oat bread, omelette egg and milk tea). One hour after breakfast I was fine, but after that i felt I'm going (literally i had a severe panic attack), fingers tickling, pale hands and heaviness in eyes, head and upper face
I had few burps in between, and slight bowel movement but i couldn't do that since i was in meeting.
I also felt numbness in fingers
Don't know what's happening but it's far worse and I'm quite convinced it's something related to gastric things
If it doesn't settle, I'm gonna visit ER
On Sunday I went to a friend’s house for dinner and he made roast chicken. I thought the chicken was slightly suspicious so I only ate the tiniest bit of breast from the top. My partner ate more than I did but the breast we both ate was all white and clear juices. However afterwards our friend said he cooked the chicken for 45 mins in the oven which I know isn’t long enough for a roast chicken so I’m worried what we ate wouldn’t have reached safe temp. Anyway this was Sunday night around 8pm and it’s now Tuesday 10.30am. I have been fine and then this morning before I’d eaten anything I had a loose bm but not d. Then I was hungry so are some weetabix and milk and then almost immediately afterwards had d and it was actual d. This was about 20 mins ago and I haven’t been again yet. I feel absolutely fine in myself and didn’t feel unwell before going didn’t have stomach ache or n or anything and still don’t. But I’m so scared this is the start of something because of that chicken. Advice would be greatly appreciated.
I had sevwr insane stomach cramps come on out of nowhere accompanied by nausea I can’t do this I’m scared
i’m so scared right now i have like every single symptom that im about to get a stomach bug and i’m home alone all week. I’ve never been alone while sick before but i feel dreadful i feel nauseas and my stomach hurts and i just feel shaky and ill i’m so scared

Hi all.
This morning when I woke up I was told my teenage little sister had been sick. Thankfully I already had plans to see a friend so I got ready immediately and left town without touching much things outside my room.
Since coming home I’ve been really on edge. I feel guilty knowing my sister is the one who’s suffering (she has a terrible stomach bug) and I’ve checked in on her from a distance, but I can’t help but freak out that it’s happening in my house and it’s contagious.
We thought the vomiting had stopped since she hadn’t been sick all day but just half an hour ago she threw up in bed and all her sheets and mattress needed changed. I was almost asleep but shot up when I saw my dad go into my bathroom to rinse some rags that had been used to clean up the vomit. This sounds like a complete first world problem and I feel very guilty to make such a big deal of this, but I completely freaked out. Got anti bac and bleach and gave me my bathroom the biggest scrub it’s had in a while.
Unfortunately my retainers, tongue scraper and toothbrush were all on the sink countertop when my dad washed these rags and now I’m paranoid that the splash has infected them. I’ve let them all steep in warm water with a drop of mouthwash but otherwise idk how to disinfect them. I’m about to hop into the shower to complete my deep clean but I’m scared to use any of my dental stuff.
What do I do?
I got this cold or whatever from my son about two weeks ago and this cough still won’t go away. It’s getting to a point where I lose sleep because of it. Either I try to go to sleep and wake up with a huge fit or it happens just as I am getting comfortable. It’s a constant rough tickle in the back of my throat and it gets to a point where I cough so frequently and so hard that I gag and become nauseous to the point where I’m hot and shaky, like right now.
Last night, I tried an allergy pill and it seemed to work, but when I took it again just a little while ago, it seemed to not work. I don’t mind getting sick because of it since it happened to me recently, it’s just that I would rather it not happen at night cause my son’s bedroom is right next to the bathroom or I’m at work and I have to abandon everything just to hack in the bathroom where customers are.
Does anyone have any tips on getting rid of a constantly tickle or drainage? I’m tired of losing sleep or getting distracted at work because of it.
