Hello, I am a 27 year old healthy male. I am physicaly fit and I have no habits such as smoking or drinking. That is why my problem is so concerning to me. Some in my family say that it is a "nervous" stomach, others have offered different suggestions ranging from different eating habits to raising the head of the bed when I sleep at nights. My problem is that when I wake in the morning, not all, but most, I have nausea. The problem has been with me for about 1 year. Sometimes it is accompanied by vomiting or diarrhea. Aprox. one hour after I have used the washroom I am fine and I can continue on with the rest of my day. For that one hour first thing in the morning, I am pretty much toilet bound though. It is true that the problem seems to be exascerbated by nervous feeling that I may be experiencing. (If I have a test or, special event the same problems present themsleves.) I have tried alot of over the counter medications, aromatherapy and herbal tonics, with little or no relief. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing, and can you recommend anything that may be able to help? I should tell you that I have not seen a doctor, I feel that my ailment can't be that serious if it is not present all the time.
Could it be a GI problem or am I dealing with the "nervous" stomach issue in which case a psych visit would probably be benificial? Any and all help would be appreciated.
