    Default i am so sick.

    I was lying in bed, feeling better today than i have been in days. Around 1 I go to bed w/ my bf, but lie awake for an hour, feeling sick, then all of a sudden i feel super nauseous, my blood pressure drops, i feel faint and my heart is beating super hard in my chest, so i ran to the bathroom thinking i was going to throw up. I ran a bath with lavender oil and got in, but started feeling super sick and my blood pressure dropped real low again so i got out and sat by the toilet. I waited like half an hour, and remembered someone said something on here about drinking water with baking soda to get rid of nausea, so i drank a little bit, distracted myself by painting my nails and reading a book... it's been 2 hours since the initial sick feeling, but i'm scared to go to bed thinking it's going to happen again.

    I really really really dont want to have a STOMACH flu, I can deal with the regular flu, I'd rather be sick for a month with a horrible sore throat and coughing and fever than be sick for a DAY puking. I am extremely emetophobic, just feeling ill puts me into a panic attack.

    Is there anything else I can do to stop feeling like this? I feel panicky, every now and then my heart starts beating really fast, my mouth is super dry... ugh this sucks. Does anything work to PREVENT vomiting? Because i really don't want to, and i'm not going to!! ugh.

    I really hate vomiting as well, I will suffer for hours rather than 'just get over it', as so many friends will do.

    I don't know if they sell the ginger ale called Vernors in your area, it has real ginger in it, and when I was a baby and couldn't keep anything down or in for like a week and my mom thought I was gonna die the doctor told her to give it to me and it settled my stomach.

    Good luck, I just got over a nasty flu. Actually, I still have it, lol--but it was so bad I feel like a vigorous strong man again, relatively speaking. Even if I was hacking away at work last night. I'm going to go work out again for the first time in over a week when I wake up tonight, it'll probably suck, haha...

    i think i drink something similar to vernors when i'm nauseous, it's called reeds though.. and we're out of it.

    i still feel sick. I'm freezing cold wrapped in a blanket and my heart is still beating really fast, i'm thinking it's probably 50 percent anxiety at this point. ugh. I just want to sleep.

    Try some mellow music maybe? Really mellow, lol--none of that Enigma/Delerium/MassiveAttack sex music. Like classical mellow. Debussy or Sibelius maybe. You need to calm down and try to relax. A good dry but interesting history book, but nothing about plagues or wars, lol.

    can you get someone to go to the store and get you some mint tea? Mint always calms my tummy down. Also, I think it might be yogi tea that make some kind of stomach comfort tea? I don't know if your local grocery store would have that, but it's worth a try. I hope you feel better! I hate throwing up too.

    Bitters and warmish club soda are pretty good for nausea.

    Gypsy,

    did your blood pressure drop only when you were laying down? Have you had any back pain? And is your blood pressure dropping when you lay down at any other times?
