Can anxiety cause vomiting?
Whenever I'm under a lot of pressure, like before a big presentation or a difficult conversation, I often feel extremely nauseous and sometimes even throw up. Is it possible that my anxiety is causing this vomiting?

Yes, extreme nervousness can definitely make you feel nauseous or even vomit. Please take some rest and sip some cold water slowly. I hope you feel better soon.

My stomach basically thinks every stressful work deadline is a cue to throw up! It's an exhausting way to live, but keeping some mint candies and avoidance of heavy, oily food on tense days really helps keep it under control.

Beta, I have seen many young people get so tense that they vomit before exams or interviews. It is just the body's reaction to fear. Calm down, take slow breaths, and remember that no situation is worth ruining your health over.

It is so sad when anxiety makes you throw up and ruins your appetite! When I feel nauseous from stress, I avoid heavy meals and just sip some cold lime water or coconut water. It really helps settle the stomach.

Anxiety disrupts the stomach's natural energy flow, leading to nausea and vomiting. Practicing daily Sheetali pranayama (cooling breath) and deep belly breathing can quiet the nervous system and help prevent this.
