Hi all


I am reletively new to this site and have been emetophobic since Jan last year after a bad heaving episode after I drank too much one day although I never actually v*.


Anyway although it was horrible I was fine until a couple of weeks later when I think I rushed my breakfast as I was late to work. when I arrived at work I remember feeling so nauseaus that I thought i was gonna v* anytime. The day passed and I never but since that day everytime I get nervous i feel very nauseaus.


Although I have suffered from panic attacks for 12 years, I never used to feel like this during a panic attack, the worst that wouldhappen was that I would feel like I was going to faint.


I am confused wether I am feeling nauseaus or this nauseaus feeling isnt actually nausea but a result of possible hyperventialtion and is more of a choking sensation and air is coming in and out very quickly. I read once that a nausea test is to think of a big bowl of chocolate pudding, if it sounds tempting then you haven't got nausea whereas if it doesn't then it is nausea but this test is 50/50.


Does anyone else experience this? I would be grateful for some feedback as it is really affecting my daily life as I do not want to relive that time again I had January last year


Many thanks


Bobby
