How to treat severe anxiety that triggers a "nervous stomach" ?
I am always stressed out about the littlest things and I have really bad anxiety. I have had this my whole life and my Mom seems to be the same way. Every morning when I wake up I have a "nervous stomach" and it feels like I am going to throw up. I get really dizzy, I get very hot and break out in sweats or I get very cold and break out in chills. My palms are always very clammy. Its hard maintaining my job because of my health. I am not performing 110% because I feel nauseated and sick. I am constantly worrying and stressing about the next thing. I have never seen a doctor for either conditions, anxiety or a nervous stomach. I don't know if there is medication to treat this/ease this but I am afraid of side effects which could make me feel even more nauseated!! Are there any home remedies, suggestions ? Ways or tips to prevent this? Should I see a doctor? the only doctor I go to is at an Urgent Care Walk In Clinic ? I have no insurance ... I am NOT pregnant.

- Breathe. Just relax your whole body.
- i had the exact symptoms you are describing..my heart would race and i would pass out...anyways try this herbal tablet its called st johns wort it works in about 10 minutes and i swear by it. if you dont like tablets theres a spray you can put under your tongue i think its called rescue remedy and it works just as good. good luck if these tablets dont work you def need to see a doctor for something stronger
- you need God in your life
- Go to your local Public Health Dept. There is probable an Adult Health Clinic. THis is better than "urgent care". You need a medical evaluation with special attention to overactive thyroid which is very treatable.
- I think you should check out a mental health agency in your area that specializes in a sliding fee scale.... I have had the same problems.... but.... i went to a mental health agency... I got therapy on how to deal with stressful and anxiety situations... i also got on paxil.... that helped with the anxiety... my issues worsened in other areas so i have changed since the beginning... but they can help.. and they base payment on how much you make...
- I have been to a general practioner, a cardiologist and a neurologist, had all kinds of tests. What I am diagnosed with is vasal vagal syncope. It's being managed by a medication to regulate my heart rate (arythmia), one to regulate my blood pressure (they said it would drop when very anxious - as opposed to increasing naturally, leading to my passing out). I also have a medicine for anxiety. Although it's being "managed," I'm not sold that this is the problem because I believe that my stomach plays a larger role. I'm still searching, but not passing out.
