Yes alysia, I will definitely avoid those food from now on, because they seem to be a trigger too. And alison, yes I do think stress is a factor too, I'm a university student and we've just started our fourth semester and workload have immediately begun to pile up. I often feel anxious easily even for little things. But there must be something else too that's causing my body to act up like this. I'll try to get a pregnancy test soon, but I don't think that is the case though since I've just had my period during the first week of January, and didn't have any sex after that.

Umm no alison, I don't have a regular doctor/specialist that I see. I see your point there, and I will go to a private hospital soon since this is something different, because usually I've been going to the public hospital.

Well, I've also found that if I don't eat at regular times, i.e. not the same as yesterday and the day before that, I'll get gastric. And also skipping a meal. I haven't done much research on gastric disorders yet, I've only just begun to understand how serious this problem is and this weird condition I'm having now is like a wake up call (I'm 20 years old).

They've only tested my heart rate using the ECG, and my heart rate turned out to be fine, they didn't take any blood test or anything. The GP at the hospital prescribed all of the medications, and no I haven't gone back to her, but I am planning to go to a private hospital.

However I have to say the this morning I did wake up again like that, but the anxiety that comes before the nausea seems to be not so intense this time and I could control it. I tried to breathe slowly and tried to go back to sleep and I did. When I woke up again, it didn't happen again. My conclusion is that it probably had something to do with yesterday - yesterday I tried distributing my meals to five very small meals instead of three big meals. And last night I felt nauseated too, which is strange because it's been happening in the morning only. So I tried eating Jacob's hi fibre low salt cracker bit by bit (it really makes me vomit if I take normal-sized bites) and the nausea slowly disappeared. I also found that it doesn't feel good if I drink warm milk when on an empty stomach - my stomach seems to be "unwilling" to accept it.

Gosh, it's like my stomach has a life of it's own, and I'm a slave to my stomach. It's really affecting my social life and my studies. Thanks for your replies so far :)
