Morning Nausea
All right. First off I am 17 years old and no I am not sexually active so pregnancy can be ruled out right away. I myself even believed for a while I was another Virgin mary but, anyway...
Last summer when I was on a school trip, I became really ill one morning. I knew I had to vomit but every time I would gag nothing would happen. I even tried sticking my fingers down my throat but all I did was gag some more. I couldn't eat anything because I was scared of getting sick. I would feel better throughout the day and eat some so I wouldn't pass out, but in the morning the same thing would happen again. I just thought it was because of the time change and my eating patterns were out of whack, but even after I got home the same thing would happen. I lost a whole lot of weight too from not eating and honestly, I was really scared. I went to my doctor once a week for about a month when they thought I was lactose intolerant then... I don't know a whole bunch of stuff but I knew it wasn't food related. It was something else. But before the summer was over, I was fine.
Just last week, the same thing started happening again, only it's not as bad as last summer. This time, I wake up feeling nauseas, gag a few times (nothing comes out), take some Emitrol and go about my morning. On my walk to school (approx. an hour or so later) I am fine. The only thing is, over the weekend I was waking up totally fine. I am thinking maybe it is the pressure of the end of the year and all that, but I honestly don't feel pressured, at least not that I am aware. I started searching around online and found that, last summer, I believe I had Gastroparesis since I was exhibiting the same symptoms and I couldn't have a bowel movement and if I did there wasn't much to it (that could have just been from lack of eating though). This time I feel it is different. I do eat, because I feel hungry (last summer I just didn't even feel hungry), and I have bowel movements only it is usually diarrhea. I am finding myself have more gas release, mostly burping, but that could just be what I eat. I don't know. More recently, I would start to feel a little "off" further along in the day, but it usually goes away. I am tired all the time and go to be sometimes before 9:00. However, I wake up sick every morning between 5:00 and 5:45, when I usually wake up at 6:30. I try to get myself togo back to sleep but my stomch just hurts too much. I find that if I lay flat on my back and don't move I feel better and if I sit up or bend at the waist, my stomach starts to hurt again.
I will honestly say that whatever this is is scaring me, especially since I am going to Europe the beginning of July and I would really like to have this resolved by then so I can have a good time. I told my mom about it last week and she just thought it was a stomach flu and since over the weekend I was fine, I haven't told her about the relapse because she will blame it on anxiety or say that it is all phsycological, that I am scared of getting sick and so I do. That could be a possibility, but I doubt it.
Anyway, that may seem like a bit of gibberish and excuse any spelling mistakes, but anyone have any insight on this? I would REALLY like to know what the hell is wrong with me.

See if you can convince your mom to take you to the doc. You need to have stool test and blood work to rule out anything serious. It could be multiple things.
