Can anxiety cause chronic nausea?
I have been to the er several times for the nausea i experience daily..it started getting really bad the past few months but i noticed stomach issues after my grandmother passed in january. Ive lost about 14lbs since march and have a hard time eating at all. The er docs couldnt find anything and im seeing a gi doc on thursday. I dont have insurance so i have to pay for the office visit myself. This is all getting pretty expensive especially since i havent been able to work much because of my stomach issues. Can anxiety do this to someone? Ive found myself constantly focusing on my stomach and im wondering if thats just making me worse. Any help would be appreciated.
Anxiety can cause chronic nausea.
Chronic disease can cause chronic nausea and anxiety.

Nausea is one of many symptoms of anxiety that I've experienced over the years.
You will need to have yourself checked out to rule out a physiological problem.
Know the cost is hard to handle. Appreciate that. But if you can't work due to chronic nausea you must uncover the core problem and take it from there.
My son was murdered by his father in early March. Shot to death. On the day of his memorial I felt sick and did pass out afterwards and threw up as well. Gastric issues as well as heightened anxiety have all been part of my life since his death.
If you hadn't mentioned a loss I wouldn't have commented on my son's death. But I do believe with or without an event like this we can be hit with stomach trouble when anxious.
Think of the 'butterflies in the stomach' feeling before important occasions. Even people not inclined to gastric issues get these.
Good luck.

Call your health care provider if symptoms worsen or do not improve with lifestyle changes or medication.
Also call for any of the following symptoms:
* Bleeding
* Choking (coughing, shortness of breath)
* Feeling filled up quickly when eating
* Frequent vomiting
* Hoarseness
* Loss of appetite
* Trouble swallowing (dysphagia) or pain with swallowing (odynophagia)
* Weight loss
I am NOT a doctor and you should seek medical help/go see a doctor who will be able to treat and/or diagnose the issue.
Good luck to you,
