Does anyone feel nauseous when anxious?

[GoldenMaknae97]

Lately I've noticed that I feel nauseous a lot. Especially in the morning and at night. I feel nervous all the time and don't feel like eating. It takes me forever to eat and It's not even enjoyable to me anymore. Does this happen to anyone else?

I also get nauseous when I'm experiencing anxiety, even more so if I feel an attack going on and I almost always end up getting sick. I have found aromatherapy to help some.

aromatherapy? I need to try that!

[annmser12 in reply to GoldenMaknae97]

My favorites are the "NOW essential oils", you can get them on Amazon. The three I use are Smile for Miles, Cheer Up Buttercup, and Mental Focus. You can use a diffuser or just put a couple drops on your wrist and chest.

I suffer with Vertigo, light-headedness/dizziness. Look up Diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing) helps with anxiety inducing symptoms.

[GoldenMaknae97 in reply to Whiskers16]

The weight loss is scary. Someone told me I look sick and I was like wow is it really that bad

[Whiskers16 in reply to moowife]

Read something that says should try and avoid diary especially milk

Doesn’t get as bad nausea as some but enough to completely want to stop eating which is a big problem. Cause then I’m feeling nauseous BECAUSE I haven’t eaten of course.. I try force feeding myself “easy” food like fruit and veg and usually it eventually feels better and I can get something more substantial. It’s a big problem for me whenever I’m not at home thou (holiday etc) cause things like going to restaurants are no longer a pleasant experience 😕

[GoldenMaknae97 in reply to Chikkolina]

yes! Going out to eat doesn't feel worth it anymore because the plate will pretty much stay the same and then I feel bad for ordering it in the first place.

Oh yes. I get tummy aches and nausea sometimes when anxious, but what helps is for me to eat something. For me, it's sweets. I also find that butterfly tapping helps if I can do it for longer than a few minutes. Also, there is one thing you might do. Put your right hand under your left armpit, and stroke your left arm with your right. It's a self-hug. It helps a lot. It's something that Peter Levine suggests as a way to reregulate your nervous system.
