Nauseous ALL night last night

[DylanD]

Nauseous ALL night last night - real stomach ache OR anxiety? I think I know the answer.

Nothing seems to help.

Try antacids, paracetamol and time

My stomach ache with the nausea feels like I have a tummy bug sometimes, I know it isn't....So for me it's killed or cure, I don't really fancy anything to eat, but I make myself eat...things like scrambled egg, plain fish, plain jacket potato, banana, trying to eat nutritious food...Yes I get stomach when I've eaten, but the nausea subsides a little. I think you kinda get in a catch 22 with nausea, you feel sick you can't eat, you don't eat you feel sick. I have had a bad day with it today, but have managed to eat a little.

I know it probably won't help you much Dylan, sorry. But I wanted you to know you are not alone.

Greatly appreciated Jen.....everything you say rings true - i can relate about the diminished appetite. With all the meds on the market these days, I wish there was one which could block anxiety based nausea. You would think....

We need to stop thinking about it and dreading it, then our stomachs would stop churning. But that is easier said than done. It doesn't matter that we know it's nothing serious. It's debilitating, it's misery, regardless of what's causing it.

The only drugs I know of are the ones they use for chemotherapy sickness, and to be honest we don't need to be filling ourselves with God knows what, and with most things in life there us no easy way out.

You know, when I have eaten a little something, after a while I start to feel a bit hungry, that to me is nothing short of a miracle 😊.

I find the best thing is the plain jacket potato, with a little salt and pepper to taste, give it a try. You might get some sleep tonight, nothing worse than being tired as well.

Let me know how you get on.

Hey Jen....

I actually slept last night. I took 2 zantacs (for acid) and .25 mg of klonopin before bed....seemed to help. Still kinda queasy today but glad that I actually slept! How are you?
