I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but my issue seems to fit the topic of 'Health and lifestyle' than 'Mental health and wellbeing' or any other forum... That is just how I'm thinking so I apologise if I'm wrong and this post belongs elsewhere...
Anyway, I'm on my second last day of exams and all the anxiety and stress had caught up to me after my Art exam while I was studying for tomorrows exam and ended up getting nauseous, not ill, just like I was about to throw up. I had to go to the bathroom but nothing came up so I had to (not literally but the feeling of needing to vomit was so overwhelming that I decided it was the best/quickest option) force my gag reflex to activate by sticking my fingers down my throat... It took 4 tries before the juice I drank that morning came up and even though I knew there was more food/drink in me, the need to vomit dissipated after I puked up that small amount...
Is this normal?
No, I don't have anorexia, bulimia, or any other eating disorders. I just felt the need to throw up because of the stacked up anxiety. My question is more-so 'is it normal for built up anxiety to suddenly hit and cause nausea, refusing to dissipate until I give in and vomit, even if it is only about 45mL that comes up?'
