Re: I almost threw up today and tomorrow.
LOL. I deal with this daily and like jennalove it's when my anxiety is high or I am panicking. Sometimes the thoughts/feelings happen at once. It SEEMS to you that you're not thinking anything triggering, but the subconscious is a weird animal. I know mine does whatever on its own and usually I find myself panicking for what seems to be no reason. My gag reflx goes CRAZY (as it is right now) and I feel like I am going to just lose it. I find my breathing gets weird and/or I get tense around my shoulders/neck when this happens. It took me a while but I am starting to see patterns and different ways my body reacts. Tension in the neck can make it seem like you need to gag or have a lump in your throat.
I also get the feeling like I gotta go #2, almost like my bowels jolt with an electrical shock or something, and then I feel all gaggy. Also I get a wobbly-like vision or slight dizziness.
I get it almost every day, it's not fun. OH! and the water thing, I get that too. I had noro when I was 3 and it started after I took a sip of water (it was coincidence) Seriously I could have written your post lol. It makes me feel like I am going insane and then I think "this CAN'T be anxiety, it is all so real!"
My tricks, I chew peppermint gum and also dab peppermint oil under my neck. The fresh taste/scent of peppermint wakes me up and the tingling distracts me in this weirdly soothing way. Also keep drinking water! For me, the colder the water the better.
