Emetophobia/ Fear of throwing up, or fear of others becoming ill.
what happens you you get sick?
Whenever I feel my stomach being uneasy I start panicking:
-i begin twitching... like snapping my fingers or pacing... trying to make it go away
-i feel heat traveling throughout my body from the head down
-my heart races... like crazy... i have seen my pulse reach 200 before
-my body shakes all over... sometimes my body shakes so hard i look as if i am having a seizure
-i get cold sweats
-i go through cycles of cold then hot
-i can't talk
-i can't swallow anything... including saliva
-sometimes i feel as if i am going to pass out
my attacks like this generally last anywhere from 3- 10 hours. it takes my body weeks to recover and i generally loose a lot of weight really quickly... once 8 lbs in 24 hours.
Are attacks like this common among emets? Do most emets experience attacks like mine or does every emet have a different reaction?
