The first day of school in the morning I got there and started dry heaving. In the morning yesterday and today I started dry heaving (it was my first day back after being gone for a while). It was really bad. I also have emetophobia so that really scared me. Can anxiety cause dry heaving? Or is it something else? I’m really scared!!!

    Nausea can be a side effect of anxiety as can upset stomache as well . There’s a long list of stuff if you google it. I find it helps me to realize what symptoms I’m having may be related to anxiety

    Yes it can. I used to get it now and then. If your stomachs empty you will dry heave.

    Oh yes, I've had this soooooo many times before going to work. I mainly get it when I'm nervous about going in but even this morning I'm fighting the reflex abit and I don't even feel nervous. Anxiety is weird.
