why do i constantly feel nausea?

I've had this same thing for years. One thing that I've noticed is a lot of this seems to start off with a virus. There's a thing called I think Epstein Barr that's more or less a tiredness sickness. My daughter calls it being sick nd tired if being sick and tired. It's. 

It is after a round of antibiotics because your body has had all the good organisms killed by the antibiotics too. I get sick just fixing food so needless to say I can't eat it. I don't have any anxiety over being lik thisi because I've been sick so long. I did get a thorough internal medicine work up and I have a tumor on my pituitary gland and it shut down like every hormone in my body and now I take even more meds. My primary one is for the tumor a steroid that's keeps it from getting larger. Oh they could take it out but it won't make the pituitary gland start working again so It's beat left alone. So my second medicine is a nausea medicine. It he

ps prevent the nausea but I still get sick so I've got a slew of zither meds for everything just about. Being as I'm 60 I have lived with this for a long time and while I've learned to cope with it I realize it's normal for me. 

So that's the best advice I can offer to everyone who can't find a reason or if you do have some thing wrong, you have to adjust to a new normal. Once you do, a lot of anxiety will ease and if people don't understand that you are sick and need extra time to do things or stuff like this then let them know their attitudes need an adjustment too. 

After all when you are sick it's not easy to out up with other people and if they are critical it's not helpful. And you want to avoid stress. Other people's attitudes can stress you even more than you realize. Let yourself understand you are sick and it's ok. Sooner or later we all get sick, that's being human. While some of us get worse over time or get better over time, it's your normal. Live with whatbyouncan and cannot accomplish and adjust your expectations of yourself too. Since I decided to stop trying to please the world at large and worry about myself instead I've been much more able to cope. 

I'm not saying you should be rued or anything, but just realize just as people have a right to their feelings so do you. Loved ones can be your biggest support group too. Just let them know that you need them. You'll be nursed how many people will be willing to help,you when you're sixk. 

I love the idea of carrying a plastic back for emergencies. Great idea. 

It is fascinating to see so many people from many different places suffer with this. I'm really struggling with the same thing atm, iv experienced this constant sick feeling for going on 8 months now and my life's no longer the same. I rarely leVel the house and my appetite has vanished. I do suffer from emetiphobia.. which is something I've noticed is a common occurance with other sufferes. If had various blood tests done and they all come up clear. I'm currently taking anti sickness and anti acid which worked at first and now no longer don't. So I do think a huge part of it is mind over matter! If battled with emetiphobia for aslong as I can remember and it really does take over your life. My advice would be to seek out someone professionally trained in dealing with such phobias. As it's something I no I have to get over. It's inevitable that I'm going to be sick.. and it will not kill me. It's convincing my mind that it's okay to get sick is the issue. I'd love to see what others think!

Hello Guys,

I have the same problems I also have emetaphobia unfortunately and my life is so hard. I am very tired and depressed all the time. I am not sure what problem caused the other; depression caused the phobia and the sickness feeling all the time or vice versa.

I can't sleep all the time and my job is very critical since I work as a high level network support engineer for a very well known company "Largest Networking company in the world". I deal with big customers everyday, like Governments, Armies, IBM, DELL, APPLE, etc. So what i am trying to explain here is that my job is really critical and not easy at all It is very stresful and I need to have enough hours of sleep in order to work efficiently but I cannot have that since I have this damn problem. 

I always have the sickness problem (nausea) at night most of the time and when I feel like that I become so afraid and my heart starts beating fast "Panic" and I get very tired. In the morning and after noon I feel much better. 

Why do I feel sick only at night. Btw, i had an endoscopy twice and i was diagnosed with a "Esophageal reflux" and a "IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome" but i am sure that these don't cause the sickness feeling. 

I wish that one day I can sleep like a baby without feeling sick or afraid.

Appreciate all the help

 

Hi everyone,

I want to start off by saying that I know exactly how you are feeling. I didn't realise there were actually others out there with a fear of being sick. I have had that fear on and off since I was a child, I remember it started with a flu or something and I suppose I just really didn't like being sick (particularly not in public) so I became afraid of it.  

In in all the years that I have experienced it, I have gained a few insights. First, the mind is very powerful. Just give yourself time and believe me, no matter how awful it seems right now, it gets easier with time. Try to take your mind off it and do whatever you need to do to be more at ease. If you are anxious about exams at college, remember that even if you get sick and have to leave before you are allowed to it doesn't matter because you can probably just arrange to take the deferred exam instead (which usually has way less people). Usually there are many ways 'out' of a situation (I.e. Taking a toilet break from a work meeting) and if you just keep them in mind while you defer using them then eventually you will see how capable you are of sitting through the stressful situation without needing to escape. These little victories are part of the key to beating this anxiety.

It is also true, however, that sickness anxiety is partially caused by feeling physically sick! (At least in my case, but probably yours too). Some people mentioned lactose intolerance. Dairy is actually very hard on the body of every person, lactose intolerant or not. If you want to stop feeling heavy, bloated and sick stop eating so much dairy. Try watching Walter Veith 'Udderly Amazing'. If you wake up in the morning  feeling fine but you get increasingly sick during the day, your food might be the problem. Eat bread every morning like I did? You might be sensitive to wheat! If you are, then no surprise if you feel ill before going to work, thus causing you to feel anxious. There are so many possibilities here so just try to look for patterns. Try switching to oatmeal with honey and raisins for breakfast. I Never feel nautious after that :-)

This anxiety pops up at stressful times in life so it never really goes away, which is actually normal if you think about it. But if you make a habit of eating wholesome, nutritious food (fruit, vegetables, beans, whole grains like rice etc.) then atlèast you won't feel quite as bad when it comes. Exercise, sunshine and fresh air and meeting new people are also very helpful.

 

So many people with simular problems and hardly any with diagnosis or solution.

l get severe nausea from waking to bedtime, gets worse with movement exertion,

sitting still reduces it to moderate,moving to severe, lve to do essential jobs in 5-10min before it gets severe,  often meaning having to lean on something gasping, then sit till it passes, going to shops an endurance having to stop every 5oyds to rest, at worst l can feel ill with it, flushed, or cold, swollen abdomen sore in parts, and belching. lve no appetite, cant eat normal meal,s, just tea biscuit or toast, lve only vomited once, after eating quiche, but think l would vomit if l tried to eat normally, but dont have phobia of vomiting, thats not a problem for me, just nausea in main, near persistent for last 5month, with bouts of weeks at a time in year prior. lve had scope which showed a bit of gastritus, but not sure it explains constant nausea, l did have acid reflux diagnosed years ago, but it didnt cause any probs once gall bladder removed. lve recently been on ppi,s from ologist, others pills from gps in past, tried gaviscon, ginger, nothing stops it. Because l dont get diagnosis or treatment that works after seeing different docs l began to think if anyone else had same experience, l did take anti b,s for a long time as prescribed, have thought about gluten lactose intollerance, but hardly drink milk and dont get the pain that many seem to get with those conditions, lve lost about half a stone, but l,m less active due to it, but notice my nails now are worse then theyve ever been short splitting, A gp said to me it doesnt make you tired, she should try feeling like this constantly, it is tiring. So know how you feel lina and others who are still struggling.  l cant dispute that l and others can experience anxiety which adds to it, but l have to odd day or two now and again  when the nausea is mild and it feels so good, like coming out of fog to some normality and a bit of energy, motivated, catch up on neglected jobs in house garden, enjoy going shopping rather than endure it, then its back, tiresome to put it mildly, so l,m stil battling for cause and cure.  If anyone from earlier posts  has found reason and treatment please post, good luck to all.
