I pretty much always feel sick, and when I say sick, its usually just sick to the stomach but lately in the mornings I start heaving as well. I cant remember how long this has gone on for, two years maybe, I have issues with anxiety as well, and am always eating polos to help the sickness, but Im fed up of feeling this way and want to finally stop. Im not pregnant or anything, I just dont know whats going on with me, its gottens so that I dont even really want to eat much anymore. Please Help Me! I have a phobia of being sick and dont even feel comfortable going out, and prefer to stay at home. I dont want to spend my life like this.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum and I am glad to help you out. You need a detailed examination and investigations to look for the cause of the abdominal discomfort and sickness. If you have upper central abdominal pain, then gastritis/peptic ulcers need to be ruled out. For the same, an upper GI endoscopy is required.

An ultrasound of the abdomen helps in ruling out the common pathologies. If these causes are ruled out, then you might be suffering from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) which can produce the symptoms similar to which you're suffering from. Please do consult your physician as it is not possible to diagnose online. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

I am going through this too! I constantly think I'm going to have a heart attack or stroke. It has gotten really bad and I always am afraid I'm going to die! I don't want to live my life in fear either. I am on a pain medicine and I'm scared that I'm going to die from that too!! Or that it's the pain meds that's causing my other issues. I hope and pray someday well feel like ourselves again.
Sincerely,
Lost all hope
