Feel sick at the thought of sex after thrush & vaginismus a bit TMI

Basically as the title says really.
I was having really bad pain when having sex so went to the doctor - after nearly a year of faffing they diagnosed it as being thrush causing the pain (I had no other symptoms other than the pain so it wasn't very obvious). By this point I also had vaginismus (also diagnosed by the doctor) because of the link between sex and pain in my head.
The vaginismus had started to get better but then I started to feel really sick during sex, having that feeling you get just before you're sick, and panicky - to the extent where I've had a panic attack during it twice.
Now just the thought of sex or anything to do with it makes me feel sick.

I honestly cannot think what has caused this - I'm going back to the doctors soon - but in the mean time has anyone had anything similar or any advice?

Is it only PIV that causes the anxiety/nausea? Or any contact at all?

Early on in previous rs i used to be sick after sex all the time but it turned out that was cos my x was a git and subconsciously i knew it Grin

Do you have anxiety any other time? It may be stress of having had pain plus increased breathing rate that is triggering it.
