For the last 3-4 months I have had
horrible nausea mostly at night time and
now ive started to get awful pains in my
stomach. I can barely eat anything
anymore and when I get the pains in my
stomach I cant lay down without feeling
like im going to explode or vomit. Ive
done many tests and ive tried
nexium,tagament,and lots of those kinds of
medicines and nothing is helping. Please
if anyone else has any symptoms like me,
id love to know. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you..
Nicki

I've had nausea for months now, and
nothing seems to help it, i've learned to
live with it seeing as how I don't have
medical insurance. It used to be real
bad, so i'd eat to see if that was it
(although it wasn't a hungry tummy ache)
and eating made it worse. Maybe i'll
never know what it is. :?
P.S. Do you smoke?

Well I do smoke every now and then but its
usually just when I am upset or having
anxiety problems. I also have
emetophobia, or a fear of vomiting I am
trying to seek therapy for. I think the
nausea wouldnt really bother me if I was
so scared of throwing up. Are you or
anyone you know scared of vomiting too? I
hope your stomach problems go away or you
find out what is wrong! Thanx

Hi nikki,
i have a fear of vomiting too. And I am
convinced that I feel more nausious the
more I think about it. My feeling is
anxiety. There is nothing wrong with me
but this extreme fear of vomiting!!! It
used to be so bad that I would be scared
of eating incase I get food poision or I
would leave the house incase someone
breathed on me and I got a bug!!!!! I
have had this ever since I was 9 (im now
28) I got over it for many years and the
sick feeling diddisappearr as I started to
think of other things (things that were
way more important than "just say I
vomit!!"). Something I can suggest is
whenever you think "oh my god,imm going to
vomit" try really hard to occupy your mind
and you should start to calm down. Think
of it this way....When you go on a roller
coaster your stomach is sloshed everywhere
giving you a nausious feeling. It's the
same when you have anxiety or a fear of
something (in our case vomiting) you have
such a high level of adrenaline and when
you analysie it or think more about it you
add to the adrenaline and it makes u feel
worse.

I had the same symptoms for a long time,
and it turned out to be a hiatal hernia.
What happened is that a few inches of my
stomach managed to slip up into my chest
cavity, so every time I would lie down, I
would just start throwing up
uncontrollably. A simple endoscopy
revealed what it was and I was able to get
an easy surgery to fix it. I only spent
three days in the hospital and one week
off of college and I was pretty much back
to normal. The only bad thing is that I
can't drink soda anymore, nor can I burp
or throw up so I have to keep prescription
anti-nausea pills in my purse just in
case. I would definitely ask your doctor
to refer you to a gastroenterologist.
