Constant nausea, bloating, stomach pains and acid reflux
Posted , 78 users are following.
Ever since i was 7 years old, iv been feeling constantly sick, i will go a couple of years of feeling really sick 24/7 then a couple of years feeling fine. It just comes and goes over long periods of time. This time i have been feeling constantly sick, anxious, bloated, acid refluxes and stomach pains. I have to mention i have a fear of vomiting and all these feelings only makes my fear worse, i haven't put my life on hold from (even tho i sometimes feel like i want too). I also have trouble going to the toilet sometimes (number 2) i quite often get constipated. Im only 23 years old, male by the way and i cant go out drinking with friends, go out for meals or even holidays because i feel like throwing up all the time, its just a nightmare!! I don't even know what normal feels like anymore all i feel is SICK, NAUSEA AND DISCOMFORT, its so distressing and makes me angry sometimes. Does anyone have any answers or idea to what this might be? Or ever experienced this before? Would very much appreciated your views

bloating for three weeks. Indigestion for 5 weeks. Constant burping
unlike some I welcome the endoscopy..I had 1 ..about 16 month ago..I want one every year..it rules out the bad stuff
This whole experience has been awful
And my wife simply dismisses my feeling
So I am glad I found this forum
I had to convince my family doctor to send me to a specialist for an endoscope
The doctor referred me . But I got no call back from them. Till I called them. But they won't do the endoscopy till they see me first
Which is tomorrow
I hate this ..just want the testing so I have a planned
Approach

I'm 21 years old (female) and I was diagnosed with ibs and anxiety years ago, and I also have a major phobia of throwing up. I often get periods of feeling constantly nauseous for about 2 weeks at a time and it's ruining my life, I hate being told that it's in my head because I didn't even feel anxious until the nausea kicked in! Literally feel sick every time I eat anything, and I'm already on a healthy low-FODMAP diet cutting out dairy and wheat as well as loads of other crap, I'm going to end up only drinking water eventually symptoms are also much worse in the evening and I have bad acid reflux when I lie down, I have to sleep with like 4 pillows. I've been going to the GP for years and I'm still getting no answers, i've tried so many medications and therapies etc, my diet is 100% healthy and I exercise, this is completely ruining my life I can barely leave the house, so I feel all of you!!!

I have some similar symtoms sometimes with nausea only if i eat too much, but i can eat so little at times and feel extremely stuffed. My problems started about 3 years ago after smoking some weed with friends, all of sudden my esophagus felt different like i had a lump in my throat and i felt i was choking (tripping from the weed) after that i threw up everywhere and my throat and stomach have felt horrible sense. I am constantly bloated and constipated and when i dont eat i throw up acid at times. i always burp up my food back into my throat after eating, sometimes even just water. it's horrrible painful constipation reflux and bloaating!! and the worst part of it is i have to suffer. i cannot go to the doctor because my dad is against it and doesn't believe a word i have to say about it. i just wish i knew what it was but how can i ever know when i cant even see a doctor!!!! i have 2 yrs till i can get tested but who knows the doctors might think im crazy too.. im so tired of suffering i have tried switching to veganism and cutting out soda and it kinda of helps.. this lump feeling in my throat and reflux just never leaves though. much luck too everyone.

just came across this and wow pretty much everything you wrote is dead on me... It sucks so much I completely hate it. Runs my life. I'm 21 years old , trying to be a normal uni student and can't even enjoy my life ... And I suffer from sever ibs so that makes everything so much worse ... But every single day I feel constant nausea , I take gravol and ginger and nothing helps.. And I share the fear of puking aswell or just not feeling good which i find makes it all that much worse ....

This is all due to anxiety that is why they can't find a medical problem. Look up treatment for emetophobia which is a vomiting phobia and you will see your symptoms fit your description. I have the same thing and experience the same side effects when stressed. Since we are fearful of getting sick we get anxious which makes us feel sick which makes us not want to eat which makes us get indigestion and stomach issues. It's an ugly cycle. I know this post is old but hoping you see it!

Hey there I am 24 and have had a similar sickness for over 7 years. It is very mentally draining. I used to be able to push through it and go out for drinks but it became way worse and I throw up for days along with diarrhea and constipation. I have been to so many doctors and have had so many tests for every single one to come up with nothing. Eventually these doctors give up on you. I do believe anxiety and stress had a big role in this sickness along with your diet. I have yet to find help beside smoking weed to ease my nausea and anxiety. Weed really does help me and has been really the only type of relief I can find. I haven't always smoke because I have read about cvs brought on by chronic weed usage and that is not me I have quit and experimented for years. When I'm smoking at least I can have some time to feel normal and somewhat good. Anyway not sure what to do now. But to all of YOU out there I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
