Wow, so glad I found this blog.  I am a 48 yr old black male and I had a stomach virus this summer and ever since I dry heave 3-4days a week. The weird thing is, it only happens before 7am.  Most time it comes so quick. I get watery mouth, and go and dry heave 3-4 times and then I feel like a million dollars. It is so weird.  I only do it once and after that, I feel fine for the rest of the day.

I have the same thing, except I don't think mine is from anxiety. Right after I had knee replacement surgery last fall, I started getting the occasional bout of dizziness and nausea, mostly when I would sit down to eat. After a few months that stopped but now I am having it in the mornings. I am dizzy and weak when I get up in the mornings. I have to lie in bed for a good hour or so before I can get up. Then if I attempt to eat anything I get nauseous and vomit or at the least, get the dry heaves. I also get very hot and get perspiration on my brow, and the last few times it happened the palms of my hands started burning like they were on fire. It doesn't happen every day but at least a few times each week. Interestingly enough, I have also started getting car sick occasionally. And same thing - nausea and dry heaves, weak feeling and dizzy. Especially when this happens in the morning I cannot eat anything for a couple of hours after getting up / having an attack. The other morning I got up and didn't feel too bad so I made some tea and toast and just looking at it, I got one of the worst cases of nausea I've had so far. It's very annoying. I am now retired and don't have a lot of stress in my life - way less than when I was working so I don't think it's related to stress or anxiety. I wondered if it was somehow related to the knee replacement surgery - maybe a reaction to some residue of anesthesia left in my body? But it's been almost a year now since the surgery and it seems to be getting worse, not better.

I have this morning nausea. It sometimes comes with dry heaves. I spent a great deal of my life skipping breakfast and drinking coffee...a bad habit I fall into againa nd again. For some reason, I have an aversion to eating right away in the morning, butthis was the mistake.

I found that if I eat a half a banana and a small cup of milk when I get up, I have absiolutely no nausea and no dry heaves. My bad habits are my enemy, my body wants a little food and I when I deny it that food, it revolts.

As far as gagging and dry heaving while brushing my teeth and flossing, I have inhereted this lovely experience from my father. It is post nasal drip aggrivated by the foaming toothpaste. I live with it, but I hate it.

My personal opinion of what a lot of doctors say about these things is that they are too ready to say "anxiety". I believe this is residual muck from pushing pharmaceuticals. Just my opinion, but I think pills are too often a way that HMO's avoid thinking and administering the "art" of medicine.  For me, the simple act of a little food resolves my morning nausea. Thank god I figured that out without the help of a pill pusher.

I bet everyone of you had a severe case of herpes zoster (chicken poxs) as a child.Zoster attacks the nervous system and as we get older we pack on more and more stress bringing a once dormant demon back to haunt us.I have been battling this for years but mine is more severe it is accompanied by pain all along my nervous system.the only way to beat this is to eliminate stress or atleast bring it down to a managable level.

I have the same problem where i wake up in the morning and the mucus in the back of my throat is causing me to dry heave.  It gets worse if i sleep on my back and sometimes when i sleep on my side.  I am a heavy set male and i think i may have sleep apnea which causes me to wake up in a anxiety panic about ANYTHING that might be bothering me.  I havent found any solution myself but im hoping that by loosing weight this problem may go away.

I have the exact same thing. What is weird about it is that it only happens as soon as I start to think about it happening.  If I'm all alone all day it will usually last that long, but as soon as one of my homeboys stops by to say hi,  the pain leaves me.  I have also figured out that getting a good buzz take the pain away as well.  I hate this ****.  It gets so bad at work that i have to hide in the corner just to dry heave, and make up silly excuses to keep my co-workers off my ***.  I'm drinking so much know just to keep my mind numb that i'm afraid that I wont see fifty

I just started a new job this week. I worked at my previous job for 4 years and found this outstanding oppurtunity. The first day I show up to my new job I started dry heaving in the parking lot. I couldn't leave on my first day so I toughed it out. I was shaking the entire day and just trying mot to vomit. I felt horrible all day. The rest of the week wasn't much better. Today is the first day off and I have the same symptoms away from work. I have high anxiety and my doctor put me on Wellbutrin and it did wonders! Made me a different person! I called him to tell him what was going on and he said to take two a day rather than one. Hopefully it helps! I don't want to spens another week at my new job sick!

finally! i was diagnosed with IBS but also told its due to stress/anxiety and it can be helped by diet change (which has helped... no dairy and no gas causing foods). ill have great days, but on days leading up to when i have something more nerve wrecking, and the day of, THEYRE AWFUL and its hard to function. Im too young to live like this the rest of my life, bc apparently IBS only goes away when youre calmer. Im not opposed to anti-anxietals. do you have to go for therapy/see a mental health professional.. into order to be prescribed antianxietals, or can your regular physician prescribe them?

I had morning nausea with anxiety.  In hindsight it was probably related to sinuses also.  Sinuses gave me odd symptoms (ringing in ears, pulse in ear, headaches, dizziness) that of course I worried about being something serious like a brain tumour then morning nausea and headaches just confirmed the brain tumor (to my anxious mind). Months later and a course of anti-biotics plus giving up coffee (highly recommended for headache removal), no headaches, nausea, etc.
Of course now I worry about other things but that's another story.

Good luck.

I posted about morning nausea, but I am female.  Yep, if I am going through an axious time, I get so nauseous in the mornings!  I hate it.  I just started feeling better lately actually.  I still get the shakes and some chest pain though in the morning.  It seems to go through phases.  The only things that help me.......

1)  a good night's sleep - I have to take meds for that - Tranxene or Ativan works for me.  They are anti-anxiety meds too - which helps in the morning.

2)  I try not to worry about how I will feel in the morning.  I try to trick myself - "I will feel great in the morning"

3)  I try to get everything ready at night (I hate doing it - don't know why) so that I don't have to rush and make myself more nervous

4)  I don't eat until I get to work - and then I have Vitamin Water or Ginger Ale with a Kashi Bar or some kind of nutrition bar

5)  I try to thank God for one more day (not a religious person either) so I am not taking waking up for granted.  

6)  I listen to upbeat music loud in the morning while I'm in the shower so I have to sing.  

Also, a songwriter I like says "If I wake up, then this day's a goodin'"    so I try to think of that phrase in the mornings.

Notice I say "I try" alot.  That's because I do not claim to have mastered the art yet - I still get nauseous in the mornings sometimes because I don't always take my own advice.  Nobody's perfect:)

Try it morning haters!  I right there with ya!

I'm amazed...I thought I'm the only 1 with the weird morning sickness. Yes, it disappears after I eat something & start moving or get wormer. I was also tested for allergy & found that my allergy level is extremely high but couldn't find out what exactly is the allergy from....does anyone know if high allergy is 1 of the symptoms of anxiety??!! in general, it goes away after 1-3 hours & sometimes it just doesn't go away for whole day.

My dr analysis was that the allergy gets the mucus running at back of my throat & that is what makes me feel sick in morning. but also I found out that its worst when I drink water first thing in morning on empty stomach, which I found out that it could be because of the acid reflux associated with anxiety or after a while if sneezing insisted because of the sinus issues, in general water on empty stomach with acid or mucus is no good & makes the nausea, I often avoided that by "eating" something dry - like a toast - first thing in morning or sometimes dry cereals with very little milk, my nose will still run a bit & sometimes drip but nausea will be even better or disappear after few minutes. worst when I wake up & drink anything on empty stomach.

I tried researching this symptoms but I couldn't find any research on it at all.

I feel nauseous in the mornings - VERY but not to the point of dry heaving.  I never thought it was anxiety but now that you mention it, it started about the same time my anxiety did.  but it just feels like i'm REEAALLY hungry and i'm going to pass out or puke if I don't eat.  at which point even a sip of water fixes it.  So maybe mine's from anxiety too?  hm.  not sure.  but i would say that's definitely a possible anxiety symptom!

My husband gets it too.  About 10 years ago when it first started I finally had him go get checked because we were really worried.  He was astounded to hear the doc say anxiety and suggest therapy.  He didn't get it and every now and then I can hear him in the bathroom when he gets up.  It lasts for a few heaves (and they sound like really violent heaves) and then they are gone.  Just like that.  Well, until another morning comes around.......

It is me!!!!!  But, I am a female!!!  I don't get those symptoms as strongly as I used to, but I used to dry heave EVERY morning...I was totally nauseous for about an hour until I actually started my work day, or got out of the house.  I would wake up all anxious, shakey and nauseous...At that time I was on Paxil.  My doctor then added Buspar to my daily "Pill Popping"  In no time at all, the symptoms subsided.  I do still get anxiety every morning still...but not the shakes and just a little nausea, no dry heaving anymore...The bad symptoms occur every once in a while, and that is when I have somewhere special to go that is out of my routine.....You are not alone!  Hang in there!!!
