The water gushing into mouth before V*.......

[jadepanic]

Does anyone else have this before they retch or V*?? I do and it is so alarming and frightening,I think I fear this the worst of all...and I have no idea why...I last vomited when I was 8 when i was getting chicken pox but I V* in a painshop with my nan and grandad...and then about 2 hours later at their house.And each time this water symptom happened,it floods in and then I'm sick...I retched about 6 months ago,I was getting pains in my stomach and the water symptom happened about 6 times before I actually retched as if to V*...but no sick actually came out as I had taken a n anti-ametic called Meteclopromide which empties the stomach contens quickly...But I still had all the symptoms of V* even though I took the anti-ametic which is shocking and worrying,I thought anti-ametic's were supposed to stop all signs and symptoms of V*.......does anyone else get this?? does this senation of water flooding into the cheeks scare anyone else?? and has anyone else retched and had this water thing even after taking anti-ametics???????

please talk back to me....Jade.xx

I get that too it's awful, it's almost worse then the actual feeling of s*ness, and I've had many a time and not actually v* too, I don;t take anti emetics though so can't comment on that x

The anti-emet tablets do work to stop you v* by signalling a certain part of your brain but in yourself you get into a state of panic whereas the 'fear' part of your brain gets fired up. It happens to me. Even if I have taken an anti-emet I can still get into a state a couple of hours later. Relaxation is a key part to what you need to do but I have to admit that I struggle with that! I hope that makes sense and that you feel better soon

I've never experienced the water in the mouth thing lol

[damean29]

My mouth waters sometimes when I feel nauseacome on, but I do not think to the extent you are describing.

[sage]

I've had that happen to me a number of times and yes, after taking medication too. The water is a helpful thing - it helps the vomit not burn your throat and such, and makes the experience easier on your body. So that's one way to look at it I suppose. Even though I'm not phobic anymore when I feel horribly ill like that I still don't vomit unless it absolutely cannot be avoided. Funny thing that is. But lots of non-emetophobic people avoid it as well because they hate it.

[krabcakes99]

i think I may have experienced the water feeling before but i'm not exactly sure. I know that my cheeks felt weird every time I've vomited, though, like the feeling you get when you're eating a really sour lemon. That was definetely one of the scariest parts for me.

[Tristesse]

This happens to me if I am VERY close to v* but sometimes if I swallow the saliva and breathe really deep I can actually stop the v*. I told my roommate that once and he said for him it's the opposite, so maybe I'm just weird!

It's called hypersalivation, and it's a normal part of the vomiting process. It's often the last thing that happens before the actual vomiting, so most people take it as a sign to get to their puking place fast. Some scientists think the saliva is to coat the teeth to protect them from the acidity of the vomit that's coming. Other scientists think it's merely "crosstalk" in the brain because the vomiting center and the salivation center are right next to each other, so when the vomiting center sends out a very large impulse, the salivation center feels it too and releases a lot of saliva.

If they are fighting their nausea, most people give up and throw up when they hypersalivate, but some emets have successfully kept from vomiting even at that point. The key thing is to avoid taking a deep breath. The body needs a deep breath in order to start retching. If you can keep that breath from happening, you can keep your stomach contents down. (But if you WANT to vomit, then taking several quick deep breaths at that moment is likely to make it happen fast.)

yes. just hearing about that actually raises my anxiety! I hate it!!

[damean29]

As soon as i start to salivate, i spit any and all saliva out of my mouth. I also sip some water and spit this out to.

[MeBeStephanie]

Oh of course, it's worse the the actual v* it's self!
