Hi Babyelxxx,

Stress and anxiety caused nausea and vomiting should NOT be considered as serious problems. Many anxious and stressed people experience nausea and vomiting when overly anxious and stressed. Because this symptom is just a symptom of elevated stress, including the elevated stress anxiety can cause, it needn't be a cause for concern. They will subside when you calm yourself down, reduce your body's stress, and give your body ample time to recover. As you calm down and your body's stress returns to a more normal level, symptoms of stress subside, including nausea and vomiting. Therefore, anxiety nausea and vomiting needn't be a cause for concern. The calmer you keep yourself, the less of a problem these will become.

There are some immediate remedies for anxiety nausea and vomiting:

•The best remedy is to keep yourself calm: Keeping yourself calm can end an active stress response and its changes. This will allow your stomach and digestive system to return to normal functioning, which will allow the body to naturally process the contents in the stomach. If you keep yourself calm, you'll notice that the nausea feeling passing in time, and therefore, needn't be an issue. Keeping yourself calm can also prevent vomiting. The calmer you keep yourself, the easier the nausea and vomiting feelings will pass. Remember, no one has to vomit due to anxiety or stress caused nausea. By keeping yourself calm, you can decide whether you want to vomit or not. The choice is up to you.

•Keeping yourself calm will allow your body to process the contents and expel them naturally through the elimination tract.

When your stomach or digestive system is upset, we can expel the contents in one of two ways: Through the mouth or the anus. If you are in a hurry to expel the contents, vomiting is the fastest way. If you'd rather not vomit, you don't have to.

•Distracting yourself can allow nausea and vomiting to pass uneventfully: The body will naturally breakdown and eliminate the stomach contents if you choose to not react to how nausea feels, and then give your body time to process the contents. You can do that by distracting yourself in the meantime by doing an activity that you enjoy (you have to do something to take your mind off the issue at hand e.g. listen to music, take a shower/bath, pick a job to do around the house). Focusing on how you feel will magnify the nausea feelings, while being distracted can minimize the feelings of nausea.

•Walk/pace: Walking helps the digestive process. If you are feeling nauseated, walking/pacing can help ease stomach distress and facilitate the normal processing of the stomach contents.

•Relax breathe: Relax breathing - slow medium sized breaths that are exhaled slowly - can activate the body's natural tranquilizing effect, which can help end an active stress response, help calm you down, and allow the stomach and digestive system to return to normal functioning. As your stomach and digestive system return to normal functioning, they can naturally process the stomach contents and alleviate nausea.

•Don't drink any fluids: When the stomach is upset, the last thing it needs is more contents, especially fluids that can exacerbate the problem. It's best to let the stomach contents be processed on their own without adding anything else to them.

Keeping yourself calm is the best approach, and then, let your body take care of the problem naturally.

The combination of good self-help information and working with an experienced anxiety disorder therapist, coach, or counselor is the most effective way to address anxiety and its many symptoms. Until the core causes of anxiety are addressed - we call these core causes the underlying factors of anxiety - a struggle with anxiety unwellness can return again and again. Dealing with the underlying factors of anxiety is the best way to address problematic anxiety.

The Recovery Support area of the website which I have listed below, has a more detailed explanation about anxiety, how it affects the body, the stress response, anxiety sensations and symptoms, why anxiety sensations and symptoms can persist and even long after stress has been reduced, common barriers to recovery and symptom elimination, and more recovery strategies and tips, including those on nausea and vomiting, such as how to overcome a fear of vomiting / throwing up.

Wow! Blackcat that was a really interesting response. I'm going to take a look at that website now, thank you 🌸

There are antinausea medications your doctor can give you! I suffer from chronic nausea and I can't get up if I'm throwing up. You need to be at school having fun!

Call your GPs office and get in there!!! And really..being nauseous is the worst. Why suffer if you don't need to. But the long post is right. One thing...salty chips and lemonade.

When I was pregnant and sick someone told me that and it helped. Because then you're making yourself sicker by not eating because you're nauseous!!!

Hi Greyen,

Nausea is always a symptom that something is wrong somewhere in the body.

This website discusses nausea etc, how it occurs, and tips on relieving it.
