    heyy i am so sorry you are feeling like that, well i can suggest i few things that will hopefully make you feel better..


    takin a warm bubble bath(always helps me calm down and relives my n*)


    rubbing vicks vapour rub on my chest(sounds wierd but it is really sootheing)


    reading, writing or drawing always takes my mind away from panicing


    maybe eatting something light like toast or a banana if you feel you can


    also what kind of n* is it can you explain? like a burning feeling, or really queasy,or pain?

    it is queasy mixed with burning sometimes. but more queasy.
    it is right under my ribs.. where my ribs meet.. the empty mass in between them...

    if i calm down.. i can sense it would feel more like burning ....

    eating sounds horrid right now..
    all i can do is pace and breathe way too hard.
    ive been feeling this way for hours and hours and hours! no sleep!

    you know what it sounds like either heartburn or indegestion, i get it quite often for hours and hours..but take 2 tums or an antacidand it should be gone..you should just try that cause thats what it sounds like to me

    Calm down i know its hard because i know how im feeling at the moment and im not feeling too well either im scared i had a really bad night last night i was so scared i was going to be sick but i wasnt... but now its in my head that i might be sick today!!
    Like she said above take a warm bath it usually helps to calm down... try writing a diary... it helps write down every time you start to feel a little worse or get dressed and go for a walk maybe phone a friend someone to talk to to take your mind off of feeling poorly..
    come on you can get through this

    Well,im pretty sure you would have been sick by now if it were a virus. so i doubt that, just calm down..your only making yourself more s* by thinking of these things..i know its mroe easier said then done, but just keeping telling yourself you wont b sick over n over again..it helps me..sometimes i even just keep writing that down until it passes i can get up to like 30 pages!

    yea im not feeling too bright right now either.. ...
    I have the same burning sensation in my stomach...
    but for urs maybe its cause you didnt eat anything? try drinking some warm water.. don't force it... if u havent had anything to eat for the past 7 hrs drink something warm and rub some vicks on ur stomach and ur temples.... the minty sensation usually makes u focus more on what ur feeling than the n*

    I thought warm water was bad when you feel n* because it can make you v*? How are you feeling Liz?

    the n* is still there...
    i took some valerian root capsules earlier
    and that made me halfway of a human being ( iw as really feeling just.. atmospheric)...

    so i feel more grounded now...
    i went to the doc and he gave me phenergen and priolsec!
    i am really thankful....
    im usually very anti-meds.. but i cant put up with this any longer!

    i havent been able to eat anything.. but i'll have to force down something later to take with the prilosec...

    have any of you taken that??
    im really hoping it helps.
    the n* is unbearable.

    Sorry, I just read this post. It sounds like you are feeling a little better. I get stomach aches in that exact spot all the time and they are never sv related. They are always due to indigestion/heartburn. I've never taken prilosec, but what alwyas helps me with those types of stomach aches is zantac. I think zantac and priloces are virtually the same thing, although I think zantac is a little faster acting. It always makes me feel better within about 30 to 45 minutes. The n* is probably all from nerves. Try and relax, take the prilosec (or zantac) and the n* should go away too. I don't know about food with prilosec, but with zantac I take it on an empty stomach all the time and have never had a problem.I hope you feel better!

    sillygirl,

    do you think that maybe the prilosec will also end the nausea?
    so maybe i wouldnt necessarily have to take both at once?

    i didnt know if you'd ever taken phenegren...

    i've never taken both . i am brand new to the prescription world.

    Personally, I would try just the prilosec first and see if it helps the n* too. The zantac always takes away my n* - I never need to take anything else with it. Phenegren causes drowsiness, so I wouldn't take it unless you really think you need it because you will probably be out of it for the rest of the day. Try the prilosec, find something to get your mind off of your stomach for about an hour, and see how you feel after that. You probably will find that you won't need the phenegren. Hope this helps!
