What's wrong with me?!

This sounds almost exactly what I went through during menopause. However I didn't know it was caused by my hormones for years and went through all kinds of tests including an extended GI scope all with normal results. It wasn't until I went for a checkup with my gyn that I happen to mention the nausea and all the other symptoms that she said "oh yes, some women experience those symptoms when they are going through menopause"! I was so upset that none of the other doctors I had seen even mentioned the possibility of this!! I went on bio identical hormones and the symptoms began to slowly dissipate. Now I'm through menopause I feel better and only occasionally have symptoms.  That's my story. Hope it helps.

Hi I am beginning to become depressed upset now because I have had this feeling sick and being sick problem for awhile been to the doctors about it but at the moment much has,nt been done apart from a blood test I feel they should try and arrange more tests at first it was just feeling really sick but not actually being that sick then I started being sick this couple of weeks with a bit of blood in my sick on Saturday but at the moment there is nothing to worry about. But been sick 5 times in two weeks and couldn't stop trying to throw up Wednesday night after 3 times actually throwing up and started getting sharp pain in my belly Tuesday night and Wednesday night with or without the sickness. All the doctor has given me is Gavascon liquid as I can get bad chest pain with the sickness too which I threw up Wednesday night. What would you advise as I feel I would like a Endoscopy as I have been waiting too long as I would like to finally know what s wrong with me and I have always had yellow skin when I am ill I just think it is jaundice as I have some of the symptoms when I looked it up. thanks.Katie

Hi whoever happens to see this.

I know this is old - I'm new to this. Hoping someone will see.

I'm 19, and i have a ridiculous phobia of vomiting. I've always had a phobia since I was 10. When I was about 12 I sort of got over it - was still scared but didn't really think about it. In the past 6 months, I have become so scared to the point where I won't eat, I won't eat out, I won't let people cook for me (even my parents who have cooked for me my whole life and never made me sick - yet still scared) I get scared to cook for myself, I worry about food contamination constantly, I get worried to leave home incase I get sick and I cannot get help if I'm away from home, every single time I need to eat, I worry. I constantly worry someone is going to make me sick from food poisoning or a sickness because I am so so so scared of throwing up. I have severe anxiety about it. I know most of the time when I eat and don't feel well it's anxiety but I cannot shake off the feeling and just feel nauseous all the time and it's so annoying it's literally beyond a joke to me now. How the fk can I get over this because I was never like this before 6 months ago. I've lost a lot of weight. I used to be a little pudgy now have people constantly telling me how skinny I look.

Anyway. This vomiting issue.

Does any one else have this problem of being so scared of throwing up they will avoid anything that may result in it? Help 😢

This is me to a T right now! Did you come to a diagnosis ?

I've been feeling so sick lately and I have not eaten a thing in over a week it had to take time off work and I also suffer from emetophia!

Doctors have gave me antibiotics and anti sickness and taken blood today they have asked for a stool sample but as if not eaten in so long I can't see it being possible to provide one!

Please help!

I have had the same problem for over a year now I was put on the same tablets as you but they wernt working im only young and I have taken the bad route of it and im actually vomiting. Doctors still hasnt found out the problem I have had blood test after blood test but they all seem to be clear. Hope you feel better soon its a horrid thing to have

The meds you have been given are EXACTLY what I've been given. I've been diagnosed with gastroparesis (paralysis of the stomach muscles). What would take a normal stomach to digest food in 90 mins takes my stomach 199 mins. Have you ever been given the gastric emptying test? Because you are taking the same meds I am, I suspect you've had this test.

The most important thing to do is stay away from fiber, anything with skin (fruits, beans, meat) as it's too hard for the stomach to digest. Eat soft foods (puddings, yogurts, avocado, chicken w/rice soups). What is saving me are saltine crackers. I get that horrible bloated feeling if I eat something that isn't digesting. I've also started drinking two dixie cups of prune juice at night. What a difference. But based on your meds, my guess is that you're already trying these. Something that amazingly works are Butterfinger candy bars. I bought the small size and when I need a kicker, I eat one of the those. Also, put your headboard on 4 bricks to force the food downward as you sleep. This condition comes and goes and can last up to a year as it takes us that long to figure out what works. Sometimes walking around helps as it forces the stomach muscles to move. But I do know that at times this condition makes us so uncomfortable that even just barely moving is beyond painful. My heart goes out to you.....

Hi everyone.

Been having this exact symptoms for 2+ years on and off.

O can go some time without and without any warning comes.

Last Thursday I drunk a bit too much, next day hanging, Saturday better but from Sunday terrible symptoms. Dizzy, sickness, nausea and terrible headaches. This time I did drink but lately I don't even drink and i still have this symptoms coming from nowhere.

After bloods done and checked for bacteria, everything normal apart from high cholesterol. Doctor told that was migraines at one point and then it was stress but end up giving me Lomoprozol. Had an endoscopy done more then 10 years ago and was told that a valve fails to close só acid comes through.

Doctor without anymore ideas gave me Lomoprozole and statin back in November, havent had anymore symptoms until now.

Don't know what to do anymore, it was so bad this week that I thought i was going to die.

Next stop might ask for another endoscopy and probably a scan to the gallbladder.

Note: I am also being treated for pelvic floor dysfunction/anxiety. But not taking anything else for it.

If someone has knowledge of cancer I have created a site about mesothelioma cancer, please give me some tips about it

Hey. I know how old this post is but this is similar to how i have started feeling. I recently passed out while i was at work on sunday around 4:30pm . My work called an ambulance for me and i went to the hospital. I had abdominal pains from my belly button to my right hand side. I went for an ultrasound as they thought it was my appendix but they couldnt locate my appendix on the ultrasound nor nothing wrong. I was discharged from the hospital when my pain subsided but now everytime i think about food i feel like throwing up. But i cant throw up. And straight after i eat food is when the feeling is most intense. The pain may not be there but whatever this is, is. I always feel tired now and i pass more gas than usual. Its been 2 and a half days so far but me being a chef and my love for food is immense this strikes me as highlt unusual. Especially when just thinking about food makes me sick when it used to make me soo soo hungry. And ive already lost 1kg in these 2 days. Im 77kg and 21yrs old.

Doctors have no idea what it is. But i know this is not normal for me and something is wrong.

Does anyone have an answer for what is wrong with me

I just want to start by saying I had all operations done after a total callopse of my large intestine and blood transfusions and then another surgery and am sicker food is intolerable more and more each day and seems to be caused by the pain onside my chest and no bowel movement for sometimes 14 days they couldn't find anything wrong with me either and am nearly dying again each time i get well or do something for me like school and work and exercise and possible weight loss then it starts it's a big game the Drs where i go rn day my blood is fine while I have black and blue bruises all down my legs to funny I have been anemic sense God now's when I also have several blood clots that are new its not real so i wont do tgere thing i know whats wrong not gonna do without anymore I just live sick everyday vomiting and no bm keep going to new hospital and new Drs

Hi I know this was 3 years ago but this is so like me and I have a vomiting phobia. I thought I was the only one but also I hate being alone. And I suffer anxiety and panic attacks
