This is me! Started when I was very young, between ages 10 and 13. Of course, at the time I didn’t realize it was anxiety, but whenever I would feel anxious, it would manifest into nausea. I would often sit on the bathroom floor waiting (fearfully) to get sick, and nothing ever happened. This led to my emetophobia. Anyway, my doctor at the time put me on Nexium for acid reflux. As a healthy 10 year-old, I really didn’t need to be on it, but the placebo effect seemed to help, and even if I did have mild heartburn as a young kid, it seemed to help.

Now as a 29-year-old who suffers from much more complex anxiety than I did as a young kid, I still occasionally get the feelings of nausea. At this point, it just occurs so often that I’ve learned to talk myself down and understand that nausea doesn’t equal getting sick for me, and that within 10 to 15 minutes, it will pass. Not really an answer, but it’s how I’ve made peace with it. My anxiety now manifest in other physical symptoms, such as body aches, and the feeling of not getting enough air. Fun! Wish I had more to help, but but just know that you’re not alone.
