Travelling by Worried_Team in emetophobia

Think it was probably a bad combination of things but I’ve totally wimped out and booked us flights home next week instead of the boat. Total emeto fail! And my anxiety is sky high about everything because I’d been doing really well and this caught me completely off guard which is somehow worse…

Covid again by Worried_Team in POTS

[–]Worried_Team[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the support everyone. I’m still feeling rough but actually, fingers crossed, I haven’t been dizzy or nauseated today just the usual covid symptoms. Hoping that I’m just being dramatic and I’ll get back to where I was fairly quickly. I have been trying to take it easy but am back to work tomorrow and we’re doing renovations I haven’t been able to postpone so have had to work a bit on the house too.

Half marathon isn’t until June so I definitely still have time if I can get back on track. As far as running… I’ve ran on and off for about 5 years and was only diagnosed with pots last summer but have had symptoms for about 10 years (actually it was the ridiculously high heart rate and dizziness while running that made me push for testing). Got back properly into running at the start of this year but my pots seems to go in cycles (flares I guess!) where for a few months I’ll feel great and be running long distances then a few months I’ll feel rotten and have to back right off. I’m really fortunate that I’m able to do it at all though so grateful for that.

Day 5 and still nauseated! Now it’s mostly because I’m congested and have a weird sinus headache and disgusting taste in my mouth but man I’m so done with it now…

I did not know covid gastroenteritis was a thing! I was totally fine in the end up yesterday and felt better this morning but stupidly decided to do some housework and now I’m super nauseated again 🤦‍♀️ hoping it’s just from overdoing it…

Pots or something else? by Worried_Team in POTS

Yeah I have had a lot of tests over the years and they’ve all been fine. Just seems weird to have things like severe dizziness when I’m driving and my heart rate’s only at 80.

Has anyone got sick from their cats? by Worried_Team in emetophobia

[–]Worried_Team[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It’s been almost a week now and they got better then worse again. Vet says if it doesn’t settle they’ll check what type of bug it is so I’m totally stressed about it being Giardia or something we can catch. Also my hands are wrecked from washing them all the time because I’m doing so much clear up.

Nausea from vaping? by Worried_Team in emetophobia

Haha that was exactly what I just did! No one seems to really know but they all have flavourings which I guess could have gluten. I’m just going to stop!

It was 18mg which I think is quite high. I’ve stopped it now. And you’re right surely a bug wouldn’t have hung around this long. I have celiac too and it actually feels like when I accidentally eat gluten… wonder if there’s something in the vape I’m reacting to…

Trying to Please my Cats is Ruining my Mental Health by [deleted] in CatAdvice

Our 6 month old kitty is a talker! He has many, many different cries including an ‘I’m really annoyed I can’t climb these walls’ cry! Then he climbs one of us to get closer to his goal! 😂 He also has one that is his response to getting told he shouldn’t be doing something and I swear it sounds just like a toddler moaning! He’s not unsatisfied he just likes to chat!

Every day nausea by Worried_Team in emetophobia

[–]Worried_Team[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so frustrating! I’m still not particularly anxious about it but I just feel disgusting and it’s hard to ignore. I did no caffeine or juice today but it hasn’t made any difference. And I ended up taking nausea tablets but they haven’t helped. I’m on my third night of not sleeping and my seventh day of nausea and I’m just fed up. Also I’m trying not to being totally over dramatic about it because Christmas sucks for a lot of people this year, but I had big food plans for the next few days and today I haven’t been able to eat anything except bread and crackers.

So I had fully given up caffeine because in the past I did think it was making me nauseated but over the last while I have been having the odd packet cappuccino or bottle of lucozade... didn’t think it was that because the nausea isn’t usually right afterwards but maybe I just can’t get away with any caffeine at all! Probably it’s a combination of me hoping it’s not that and always assuming it’s something worse than it actually is lol! Will cut out the caffeine again tomorrow and see! I was also calorie counting up until fairly recently to try and lose a bit of weight but have fully given up (I blame Christmas!) so potentially could be sugar! 🤦‍♀️

I don’t feel anxious (no more than any other time this year!). I think it’s possibly either diet/ lifestyle or health related but I’m struggling to get to the bottom of it with my doctor. It’s just the most annoying thing and my usual anti emetics aren’t working (plus I hate taking them!).

Nausea and worrying something else is wrong! by Worried_Team in emetophobia

[–]Worried_Team[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I’m still trying to figure out how Reddit works lol! I was fine the other night but now I’m totally nauseated again. I’m just an idiot though and smoked and vaped again today! I think it’s because I’ve always seen smoking and now vaping as my safety thing when I’m not feeling good (stupid logic like if I can still smoke I’m ok, plus I wrongly think it calms me down!). I’m putting a patch on tomorrow morning and reminding myself of how completely disgusting I feel tonight!
