help me

I am a 19 year old girl, I have always been sensitive with foods, as a young child I couldn't have dairy and I was vegetarian for 8 years. I get mostly mild but sometimes severe nausea after/during eating, when being constricted such as wearing anything around my neck or having a bra on. I get very hot around the neck and it causes a lot of discomfort. I burp a lot which sometimes relieves the symptoms momentarily but recently I get terrified to burp in case it causes vomiting because I feel so uncomfortable. I've always blown it over but it has started really bothering me to the point I can't get on with day to day things to my full ability.
what could this be? and what can I do?

Hi there!

Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include ENT infections/ inflammations, GI infection/ inflammation, micronutrient deficiencies, GI motility issues, stress/ anxiety, hormonal/ endocrine imbalances, metabolic issues etc. It would be best to have this evaluated by a primary care physician initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought.
Hope this helps.

Take care!

Have you check to see if you are gulten intolerance or alleric to it.  Cut off all gluten products and see if you'll feel better.  Good Luck!
