Can a person throw up from stress?

[xXiTacoXx]

I threw up for a second time this month, and before you acuse me of being pregnant I'd like to let you know that I'm still an only ever kissed a guy virgin.

[S0ph5t3R]

Puking is a response from your body to stress. It already happened to me before an oral and I was so nervous I threw up my breakfast.
It might be because you are stressed about something. Try toning it down and see how it goes. Try eating lighter and more natural foods and a moderate amount of water, if you don't already. It might simply be your body responding to something unusual. It might be nothing big but, if it goes on longer than a few days or a week, you should see a doctor.

[xXiTacoXx]

I'll try working on that. Tbh though me and healthy eating aren't the best of friends. Veggies make me gag. :T

[S0ph5t3R]

I hate veggies too! But I force myself to eat them. If I can give you a few examples from my diet, I drink V8 veggie juice. It tastes yummy and you just have to poor it in a glass without adding anything. I also get a probiotic yogurt/beverage every morning, it helps a lot with digestion. I make myself salad when I can. I mostly use spinach and I add as many other things as I can: I like putting mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, apples, pears, water chestnuts, grapefruit and sometimes berries and nuts in it. Sometimes, I mix all of it together and it tastes great! It's so much easier and so yummy that you will finish your plate.

I believe so, I vomit when it's too hot outside. It is very bad sometime's I can not go out unless it is dark so I basically miss most of the summer and sometimes from just eating alone (nooo I'm not bulimic... Or else I'd be 50lbs lighter now lol) other time's I puke from giving a fuck boy the time of day😒

*DooMguy rubs chin* I don't really know, I'm only a medic in-game. First it was blood and now this. . .. sounds like you've been infected

Have you tried washing your mouth with soap? It might help (or make things much worse) you never really know until you try

[poopedmypantsagain]

Yes it is just as easy to throw up over that.. as it is to see that Idiot Donald Trump everyday

[redeyemindtricks]

Oh, yeah, this is super duper common.

Stress activates dopamine receptors, more so in some people than in others. One place where you have a lot of dopamine receptors is in the GI tract, where their function is to make you throw up.

[redeyemindtricks]

When you experience this, do you experience it together with sleeplessness, fidgeting, (possibly) increased sexual thoughts, and (possibly) increased motivation to work toward concrete rewards?

Do you bounce yr leg more than usual if yr sitting down? (Possibly) salivate more? Do yr friends tell you that you might have said some less-than-nice things during these times?

I'm going somewhere with this

[xXiTacoXx]

I've always said less-than-nice things. But the increased motivation to work towards rewards is a new thing popping up along with fidgeting more than usual. >o >

[redeyemindtricks]

Ah girl it's a familiar story. A lot of these are similar to things I experienced with bipolar mania, as a teenager. Fun years, those were.

Anyway, what's almost certainly going on here is some sort of problem with the neurotransmitter dopamine. Either yr body makes too much of it, or else yr receptors are over-sensitive to it, or both.

There are 2 ways to deal with this without going to the doc -- you can raise yr body's serotonin levels, and you can lower yr body's dopamine levels.

To raise yr body's levels of serotonin, you could switch yr diet more toward carbohydrates. (Not sugars, but things like brown rice, corn, sweet potatoes etc).
You can also supplement with L-tryptophan and/or St. John's wort during the daytime, and 5-HTP and/or melatonin at bedtime. (All four are available at drugstores)

To lower dopamine levels, you should cut out caffeine as much as possible.
Yr body makes dopamine from (cont'd)

[redeyemindtricks]

... a precursor called L-tyrosine, so, the important thing is to avoid foods that contain lots of L-tyrosine. These include:
• oatmeal
• cheese (yeah it sucks, I know)
• chicken and duck
• dark chocolate

If you knock these thinsg out of yr diet, you'll probably find that the situation will get better.

If it's still overwhelming, you can go see a doc and get a prescription for a "dopamine antagonist" drug.
These are also called "antipsychotic" drugs (yes that's a horrible awful terrible sounding name, lol), because they're prescribed to help people who suffer from schizophrenia and other schizoid disorders, too (which are also associated with dopamine imbalances).

Those drugs WILL work, but they have their own set of collateral problems, so you should try the diet and supplement approaches first.

Good luck. <3

^^ @Avenuewriter @soph5t3r if you two are having this problem, too... check it out

[RJGraveyTrain]

Stress and anxiety can do a lot to you, take it from a girl who has passed out from stress-triggered panic attacks. I would say you are either stressed or getting the stomach flu.

[Avenuewriter]

Yes, in fact my main reaction to stress is my gag reflex goes into overdrive, so I feel like I could choke on anything at any moment. In really stressful situations, I puke.

[EmpatheticLady]

That's entirely possible. Stress does a number of things to a person's body. Nausea and vomiting are two of the potential things that can happen.

[whitegato777]

Yes I have thrown up because of stress. Don't get married. It's ruff!

[xXiTacoXx]

But I'd like to be married someday and the idea of being a single person sleeping around or dying alone grosses me out.

[AhGojira]

Sure. The anxiety would have to be really high though. Some people even take dumps when they're losing their shit. It's common with burglars. :D

[9mfeo]

That's a symptom of chronic anxiety, yes. So it's possible.

[TMWLOP]

i did just the other day, but three red bulls an a heavy lack of sleep may have also been the cause

[AzureGirl]

Yeah, I used to do it all the time. It really sucks :/

[badadvice101]

It sure can. Stress can also make you feel less hungry too! stress is a mess.
Take care.

[LyssaNicole]

Oh yeah!! But watch out because stress can cause ulcers and you don't want that

[xXiTacoXx]

e. e No, I certainly do not.

[apple24]

haha! Yeah I bet you can! i felt sick like that too!

[xXiTacoXx]

But did you actually throw up?

[apple24]

no I never do! I think i did one time.

[KittyKlip]

I have.

I also gag when I am hungry and when I cry too much.

[OrdinaryGentleman]

lol preggers.
yeah you get a queezy feeling from it if its bad enough so it figures.

[Anonymous]

Stress can cause so many crappy effects on the body. Vomiting from it is definitely possible.

[Anonymous]

Oh yeah. But then it's more than likely a massive amount of stress

[xXiTacoXx]

But that's the thing I don't feel stressed, but I think I might be unless I just ate something back twice this month.

[JamesDylan1990]

When my uncle died in front of me of a stroke

I went outside and was so upset I vomited, so yes

[Noxifer626]

My mom had a cyst in her eye from stress. So yes, you can.

[Blazera]

Stress causes a lot of problems including physical.

[TheOldMan59]

You can definitely throw up from stress, but it's more likely due to a virus or something you ate.

[bethwilson]

yes, I have anxiety and when I get an attack I throw up

[fauchelevent]

Yeah, that can definitely happen.

[xXiTacoXx]

Damn... .-.

[DocRim]

Yes it's very well possible.

[douride2]

Stress can do it to you.

[xXiTacoXx]

I see. o:

[douride2]

To much stress will literally make me sick.

[RicanEyes]

Yes it can happen I have been through it.

[Hollywood-Glam]

It's possible, it happened to me too.

[Anonymous]

Or maybe just dizzy...

[xXiTacoXx]

Nope I legit threw up in one of the girls bathroom sinks at my college today.

[Mesonfielde]

Yes, it is possible.

[karahiri]

yes, of course.

[Anonymous]

Yes
