I was just wondering, you said you experience nausea with anxiety, but is that nausea 24/7? Mine lasts all day everyday and is accompanied by really bad bloating and a sour stomach. I don't think stress would make you feel nauseous from the moment you wake up until you go to bed. I think this feeling makes me stressed more than anything becuse when it is real bad, I can;t function. I had a catskan and was fine, I wish I knew if there was a food I was allergic to, because I would immediately eliminate it. I have ha a problem with constipation. I used to use metamucil and those things everyday to help. I never really feel like i have a complete bowel movement. Do you think that could cause nausea and bloating24/7?

i had constant nausea (yes, 24/7) after an attack of pancreatitis a couple of years ago ... i'm not saying you had pancreatitis, or even that it caused my nausea, but your gullet is a tube that begins at your esophagus and ends at your anus, and if there isn't enough squeezing action, it causes nausea b/c the food just builds up at the top of your stomach... my internist prescribed motilium (domperidone), and it works a treat ... domperidone is not available in the US but reglan is ... and i actually don't think mine was caused by the pancreatitis -- just coincident in time ...

and 24/7 nausea is not caused by anxiety, in my opinion -- i've never been nauseated, esp. 24/7, and had it caused by anxiety ... do you thiink it's time for a second opinion?

i know xanax can be addictive, but the occasional one isn't ...

constipation can be caused by hypothyroidism -- do you have any other thyroid symptoms? see the thyroid board sticky: Information Archive at the top of the thyroid board to find out what they are ...

good luck ...

Thanks for your input. I have had such an awful time dealing with this, and when I think about it, my doctor hasn't helped. I have had this nausea everyday, 24/7 for almost two years. She told me it was variant of panic attacks. I don't even know what panic attacks are. I f anything, this has caused me anxiety. I did have a catskan, which showed everything was normal. I think it has a lot to do with constipation. I never feel like I really finish going to the bathroom and it makes me feel real sick all day. i don't know if there are any diseases that could cause this, but I think I'm just going to have to really pay close attention to my diet and saty away from things that could cause constipation.

really, monarchangel, i think you need a second opinion .... and constant 24/7 for two years nausea is not caused by anxiety .. please -- get another opinion ...

i think it has more to do with your gut not squeezing enough, and for that you need reglan ...

have you looked at the bowel disorders board, or the digestive disorders one? maaybe they can help ... more than this one, i think ...

good luck,
