physical symptoms of emeto

[suzy.o]

Does anyone have any of my symptoms? I have more of a fear of r*t*hing/choking than v. I can get a tight throat and cant even talk when its really bad, other times i get like a ball of wind in my stomach, It scares me to burp though in case I r*tch but if I dont burp I feel so empty with a gnawing feeling in my gut that it also makes me feel like r*t*hing, Its awful becauseI feel that one way or the other im going to do it. Also I get a wierd feeling at the back of my nose where my sinuses are, and the back of my throat as if there going to close up. The last one is a horrible butterfly feeling i get in my chest which feels full up to the limit with nervous swallows and wind and cant seem to breathe ok because of the fullness and butterflies that I feel, even though Im not in hyperventillation stage with panic.They all make me feel I'm going to YOU KNOW WHAT! Am I a normal emetic? Edited by: suzy.o

Hi, I think you are experiencing the full symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks....I have similar symptoms that you have described.....when I feel that coming on, I reach for my xanax....it stops almost instanly.....my heart beats so fast that i think it's going to come right out of my chest....i also have to swallow/hicup at the same time feeling like I can't breathe......it's so annoying so i know what you are going through....you should really check into getting some anti-anxiety meds.......they work wonders for me...Hope this helps...Kate

Thanks so much for your reply, I hate it, I wont take medication as Im worried it will make me feel wierd and then have to put up with it until it goes out of my system. I know I shouldnt but I drink alcohol to curb my panic, not to the point of being drunk as I do not want to be s### or have a hangover. That way I can administer my own dose. No one would tell ive had some as I make sure it just relaxes me. I know I sshouldnt but I darnt do any thing else to ease the anxiety. Thanks for listening, its very good this website isnt it.
