Your story sounds like mine. It came on gradual. It didn't happen until after I had kids. Than in 2006 I started having panic attacks after my youngest and husband got a SV really bad. I thought I was having a heart attack and went to the ER. They treated me like a heart attack out patient and ran tests. The Dr finally said it was a panic attack. I started counseling and he diagnosed me with emetophobia and gave me this website.
