So scared please help!

So after feeling pretty good all day all the sudden I am feeling pretty nauseous. I'm really nervous because yesterday in my dance class, there was this girl who didnt feel well and I was around her a little bit just like in her space then she left the class for a while and appearantly v* while in the bathroom. Then she came back into the class and called her mom to pick her up. I am just worried because I like breathed the same air as her after she v* and was around her a little bit before she did. So, now I am feeling pretty sick. I took a Tums and it is helping a tiny bit but it is still bad. Any advice? do you think I caught anything??

No I don't think you caught anything I think you have a upset belly from anxiety. You can't catch it from breathing the same air as her or just standing by her. Try a hot bath to relax you it helps for me. Watch a movie to take your mind off it. You will be fine I'm sure.

Okay thank you. I am just laying in bed and cuddling with my dog and it is helping a little bit. My stomach is just super burney and gurgly. I had a really rish dinner so I'm thinking that might be it. I'm still pretty nervous but thanks so much for the advice

IT usually hits pretty qucik.. you probally wouldnt of even held down the tums if you had it. its just because your over thinking. BEST of luck though, hope everythings okay

No, she would have had to vomit near you and you would have had to breath the vomit particles in order to have caught it, from what I understand. I hope you feel better. If your not sick now then I wouldn't worry. Anxiety can create the feeling of illness and make it seem so real.

you can't get sick from breathing the same air as someone who is ill....you have to physically ingest the vomit particles. If you didn't use the same bathroom after, or touch her then I'm pretty sure you're gonna be just fine!

Hey, this echos the previous posts, but.. you can't get sick from breathing the same air as her unless she was sick less than a few meters away from you in an open space (if she was sick in the bathroom and you didn't go in the bathroom you're in the clear). I just hope she washed her hands properly before touching doors and everything though, cause the virus might spread that way. Even if someone is sick close to you, the particles don't travel very far and don't stay airborne for long periods. My brother works in healthcare and he's been exposed to sick patients often and never actually caught it from them. I think it's more worrisome if someone living with you catches it because then they can contaminate almost all the surfaces in your home if they're not super careful with hygiene... then again I once managed to care for a boyfriend who had an sv and he wasn't the most careful person and I still didn't catch it even after spending two days at his place while he was sick. So you're not doomed, your exposure level was low.
