All in my head?

Ever since I got the stomach flu back in March, pretty much everyday around 5pm (which was the time i started feeling sick when i got sick) i start to feel nauseous and get scared that im going to get sick again and then my anxiety skyrockets then i feel more nauseous then i get worried. Throwing up if my WORST fear. Is this all in my head? The nausea? Is it just because my mind anticipates it that if reflects on my body?
I recently had a panic attack on friday in the mall, i got this overwhelming feeling of nausea then BAM panic attack. My boyfriend drove me home and ever since then I havent felt myself. I had like 6 panic attacks that night and Ive felt really distant from my boyfriend who was there when the panic attack came. so im afraid that it will happen when i see him. i had bad derealization the next day and random crying spells. I feel a bit better today except for about a hour ago I got that nauseous feeling thennnnnnnnnn the panic attack came.
Also ever since i got sick, if i think about food to much i get nauseous and lose my appiatite. but then once i start eating im fine. im just always scared EVERYDAY that im gunna get sick again.
another thing im scared of it that this nausea isnt in my head and i have like a brain tumor or something seriously wrong with me.
could someone shed some light on my situation?
thanks :)

Have you been taking any meds as sometimes there are side effects like Anxiety, You wont have a brain tumor you sound anxious for whatever reason, when you feel an attack coming on, tell your self that all is well, nothing is going to happen it is your thoughts making you feel bad. Distract your self, ground your self it is impossible to experience any negative feeling without first creating a corresponding negative thought.wherever you are do something differant ,talk to someone, TV a Book, call someone on the phone,...... switch the thoughts off good luck
Thank you.

kteen, You are only 16 and have been having panic attacks for 10 yrs?? My question is, what started those panic attacks when you were only 6 years old?? Whatever happened to you back then seems to still be affecting you today. Since you are on Lexapro and Clonazapam, what kind of doctor is overseeing the use of these drugs?? You need to talk to the doctor that has prescribed them to you and tell him of the adverse reactions you are having, he/she may have to change the dosage or change medications entirely. Specifically, the clonazapam, even tho it is for the symptoms of anxiety, can actually make your anxiety worse, please read this:
"The following paradoxical reactions have been observed: excitability, irritability, aggressive behavior, agitation, nervousness, hostility, anxiety, sleep disturbances, nightmares and vivid dreams." This is an excerpt from the side effects of Clonazapam as reported on: http://www.rxlist.com/klonopin-drug.htm Good Luck, let us know how everything works out... ;)
