Anxiety of Vomiting.

[Vennessa93]

Hello, My name us Vennessa, and I have had an intense fear of vomiting since I got the Norwalk virus in April 2016, ever since then I've had ongoing anxiety attacks thanks to the swelling of my stomach making me be tormented with nausea for half a year, and by panic attacks late at night that have me in the bathroom. I too am terrified of my kids being sick, one is 4 1/2 yrs, the other 3 in July going to day care. This who year they keep coming home with flus and colds. I'm not scared to catch their colds, but I tremble and get sweaty feet/palms, get nauseated when my 4 yr old tells me her tummy hurts, then I get agitated when she throws up on the floor and I feel so helpless because my body refuses to go comfort her in a time of need, instead I panic and jump up on furniture and tell her to go to the toilet and have my partner watch her. My heart pounds so hard. I wish to be over this stupid fear of vomiting. I never got a fear from it as a child. Only in my early 22-24 in July. I'm at my wits end of the fear of it causes me to have the symptoms without the actual vomit part. But I just hate the feeling of nausea so much.

I wish to overcome this as I never had and phisical or mental issues until September 2014 where my family experienced a traumatic event in our lives. Only then I started experiencing physical and mental problems. Dr.'s believe I have fibromyalgia, I do have scoliosis, I had swelling in my stomach that is now only in my esophogust, and they believe I have anxiety and circomstantioal mild depression. I'm like to talk more with a professional about these issues, or to just talk to someone that may be going through something similar and to help each other possibly triumph through this.

Thank you for reading my post. ♡

Went to the mouth, Nose, Ear Doctor, Turns out ( so far ) that I have "Nocturnal Acid Reflux " That caused a 'significant' amount of damage, which makes me feel sick during the days. -.- But I am not on Gaviscone ( 2tsp at nightime ) for a little while to let my throat recover. That may help my anxiety because I have no choice to deal with it now. Hardest part is sleeping elevated, makes my back hurt much more. :/ But more information to come soon on my next Doctors visit. I hope you guys are doing good! Let me know if you want to chat through anything.
