Health anxiety with nausea

9 replies

I'm so panicked. For the past two months (admittedly on and off not constant) I've had bad nausea, with a feeling of a full stomach (like I can taste the food that's in my stomach) like it's not digesting...I thought it was anxiety and mentioned it to my doctor who said probably anxiety induced nausea as I do have severe anxiety however for the past two weeks I have been the least anxious I ever have in my life probably until today, all day I have felt so so unwell and nauseous. I had a egg sandwich at 5pm, it's now just gone 11pm and I can feel the sandwich in my stomach still. I keep urging and keep burping, I keep thinking I'm going to be sick (would probably feel better if I was) but nothing is coming up and the feeling in my stomach is so uncomfortable it is starting to hurt. I'm shaky and feel hot and cold because I feel so incredibly sick. I'm starting to think I actually have gastroperiasis because this has been on and off for a while now. How can I get this feeling to go? I'm so so full and I feel hot, I'm worried and panicked because I don't know what's happening to me. I can't get myself to be sick nothing is coming out but my stomach is so incredibly full and bloated too. I'm sick of this!!!!

I just really don't think this is anxiety induced now just because I feel so incredibly full and bloated and can feel the sandwich there I can taste it in my stomach. I don't think it's reflux because usually I get the acid feeling which I don't have. I physically feel so unwell like I need to vomit but I can't vomit, I've been gagging and urging and nothing is happening, all except a few noises in my stomach and burping with no acid 😭

Could be gallbladder/liver/biliary related getting nausea after eating.

i think you’d be getting intense pain with gastroparesis, and you don’t mention that.

Is there a possibility you've got ibs? I can get like that during the worst of my flares. X

I've had had all of these checked previously back in May I had an ultrasound as I have got ibs and was diagnosed after this scan with it but ibs has never caused this much nausea and pain in

I was diagnosed with ibs! Would buscopan help? With ibs I only ever had severe stomach pain, they did all tests and just concluded ibs as nothing else showed. But I have so much nausea, my stomach feels so full still and I haven't eaten since 5pm yesterday, I feel very weak today like I can't move, I have actually called in sick for work cause I can't work like this it's bad

@preggegg accidentally posted without finishing what I wrote, basically the abdomen ultrasound was normal and bloods for liver etc was normal, no gallstones were found but they did say there was slight inflammation in one of the organs can't remember which one but they said it wouldn't be enough for concern, it was apparently minuscule and doc doesn't know why it was even noted down as a flag.

Called an out of hours gp and they've terrified me, said it could be a blockage. It's not, I've had stomach issues on and off for a year now and everytime I've seen a doc they've said I'm fine. I wish this was a stomach bug but I don't think it is 😭 they wanted me to come in but I'm unable to

Sounds like indigestion to me.

I wish it was, I've tried taking indigestion medicines. Nothing is helping, I have only drank a Huel shake today as I still feel like I've eaten a 10 course meal 😭 feel so nauseous aswell I hate this
