There is help: Fear of vomiting, follow the principle of fear of the fear, where one develops anxiety with physical symptoms like nausea and vomiting , then the symptoms themselves become the focus of anxiety and avoidance...It leads to a vicious circle with progression. There is treatment to interrupt this cycle using medication and therapy. Treatment of anxiety disorders is quite promising, . Please get help.
