Nausea at thought of food & after eating
Hi everyone, can anyone help me with these symptoms please? I have no idea what's going on with my body at the moment, and it's a little freaky.
For the past couple of weeks, every time I have eaten, or even just thought about eating food, I have absolutely gagged, and ended up feeling nauseous for hours. I do force myself to eat, and then sit quiet when possible and force myself to keep it down, but this is not a good way to be going.
I am a single mum, and definately not pregnant (no intercourse for 20 months). I already suffer with migraines with muscle-spasm headaches, as well as light-headedness. The latter is the main reason for my concern.
I am a first year psychology student with a real passion for the subject, and I understand behaviourism really well. I know that if this nausea doesn't disappear then my brain will take over from my body and simply stop me eating. Along with light-headedness, this isn't going to be a great Christmas for my 2 year old, so I really need some help. Am nervous of going to doctor, as they don't seem to like diagnosing - my daughter's airways close up during colder months, yet despite suffering for three years she doesn't have a diagnosis. I can't see them caring about this.
It is nothing to do with particular foods, as my diet has not changed in the past few weeks. It can't be food poisoning, as it is only apparent when thinking of food/digesting food, and has no preference to cooked or un cooked food. I generally do not drink much milk, just a tiny bit in cups of tea, and on breakfast cereal a couple of times a week, but this has no effect on nausea as I get sick every day.
I can't see it being relative to stress, either. Although I am stressed, I have lived a life packed with stress, and so this really is no different to ever before.
I also can't see it being an eating disorder, as although I am a little tubby, this is because I am a mum, and I am proud of that fact. I intend to go to the gym to burn it off, but I am comfy with my body as it is for the time being, and have no desperate need to lose weight.
As you can see, I have exhausted so many possibilities, and I cannot think of anything else that this could be down to, but I really need to fix it, as it's making my life hell.
I appreciate any and all advice given.
Thank you for your time,
Kirstyy

do think my daughter has asthma, as I had it as a child, and although it is not officially hereditary, I was told by nurses previously that it does run in families. Just wish the stupid doctor would recognise this and diagnose her. :(
Have had nausea with migraines previously, but they were full-time nauseous feelings, these recently only relate to food/eating. Will check out the pancreas and gallbladder things, thank you so much for replying hun. Really appreciate it :)

As for your symptoms, it could be your gallbladder or pancreas. Your migraines could cause nausea.
Your daughter might have asthma; cold air can make it flare up.
