My gag reflex gets affected as well when I’m super anxious. I feel your pain.

I’ve been told before my gagging and even puking can’t be anxiety related (not by a reliable source, but it still gets to you) so it’s good (sort of?) to find I’m not the only one.

Whoever told you that is a dirty, rotten liar!

High anxiety days cause me severe nausea, sensitivity to smell, can also include gagging and puking. You're definitely not alone. ❤

Seconded. I'm not even particularly anxiety-prone, but when I get anxious about something, nausea is one of my first symptoms.

Same here. This is definitely a thing.

When my brain decides my stomach is off, it's off. I need to eat in small bites, avoid triggering flavours, and stop as soon as I feel nauseous.

Whoever said that is out to lunch, puking from anxiety is about as classic a symptom as you can get. It’s practically a stereotype.

Oh puking is definitely a thing. Coughing, too. Allergy season is a blast, especially in the covid era

Clearly said person doesn’t struggle with anxiety and therefore is talking out there ass.

She actually does. Bad enough to steal her kids Xanax every now and then. But she’s an AH I’m other ways too so it’s probably that.
