    Hey, i havnt been here in a while, hows everyone? I just had a terrible night last night! I went to bed feeling a bit sick, no more than usual and i put it down to stress or anxiety. All of a sudden i got that feeling you get in your throat before you v...... So i lept up and started panicking. Ive never shaked so hard in my life! For about 6 hours i was fighting the n......, there was no way id let myself be ill. I wasnt actually feeling that sick, i just had a massive urge to v.....


    Now its the afternoon and i have a really sore throat for some reason? That experience scared the sh*t outta me. I dont know what to do, could anxiety have made me nearly be sick? if so what can i do? cause i get really anxious about being sick anytime I have to go somewhere

    You could have a bug. I felt a little off Thursday night and my son was vomiting Friday morning at 3am. MaybeI had the bug, Friday night I throat was sore and had a swab done yesterday.
    It seems that you won the fight not to vomit and now you have a sore throat. Maybe you are coming down with a sore throat and cold?
    Did you have a fever when you felt sick? If your throat is still sore try to gargle with warm salt water I have been doing that.
    I hope you feel better soon

    Do you have acid reflux? That can cause the n* and the sore throat. You said you were stressed and anxious. It could bet hat you were producing too much acid and the reflux borught it up to your throat - especialy while you were laying down sleeping. Try keeping yourself propped up more when you sleep and try taking some Zantac or something similar. I get this every now and then when I am particularly stressed about something. Feel better!

    My severe anxiety attacks have exactly those symptoms. I tremble uncontrollably, sweat, my stomach cramps up and about 50 more things. The mind is amazing what it can convince you of. If it happens again, it is surely anxiety. Let me know if it does occur again. I can give you some tips that I do in that situation. Murphy
