don't know what to do

[doziduck]

ds2 over the past few weeks has been absolutely fine and then he suddenly starts panicking saying he feels sick and is convinced he's going to be sick but after a while when i have calmed him down is fine again.
At first i thought he really was poorly but now it seems that he isn't. He has been poorly quite a lot ( low immune system, lots of blood tests) and a during the summer he fell, banged his head and was sick and drowsy, resulting in a hospital stay. It seems to be ever since that. I don't know whether he really does feel sick or he's so afraid of being sick he is just imagining it. He did it this morning and then touched his own head saying quick quick i've got a temperature too all completely paranoid.
I feel sort of guilty that it could be my fault as i am very anxious at times and because he has been ill a lot i have fussed and fretted and worried about him. My mum did say once ' stop worrying, you'll have him paranoid' and it seems thats whats happened He seems happy in every other way and is active etc and it comes so out of the blue.

how old is ds doziduck as that could make a difference in you plan of action.

[doziduck]

he is 5. when i think about it, he must actually feel sick but i don't know why and i'm sure it's not an attention thing.

I would take him back to my GP to be reassured. If he is still feeling nauseous, then maybe he needs to be kept an eye on for a while.

Its not because he is worried about something is it? Like school?

It could be an attention thing. I dont mean that in a negative way but if you give him lots of attention when he complains about it he probably likes it and keeps repeating it.

My ds who is 2.5 years does something similar. He hasnt been ill but if he wants to tease us or play a game he pretends to cry so we scoop him up and give him lots of cuddles or a pretend drink of milk.

Maybe next time he does it you could turn it into a game and see what happens.

What about trying (I know it'll be tough)to try to be really calm and practical about it all after double checking that there isn't anything bigger going on from the doctor.
Like 'I feel sick' oh well lets get a bowl, here's the thermometer and just be really calm like no big deal. Agree with collision about the attention so if you play it down in front of him then it may carry through.
