No.: Emetophobia can be successfully treated with exposure therapy. This treatment doesn't necessarily require that the individual actually vomit, but that he/she practice with situations, objects and activities which he fears might lead to vomiting, and which he's been avoiding. http://www.anxietycoach.com/emetophobia.html

Please don't!: A few complications with repeated vomiting: 1) aspiration of vomit with resulting chemical pneumonia; 2) dehydration and electrolyte disturbances; 3) Mallory-Weiss tears of your esophagus; 4) loss of enamel and increased tooth cavities. Evaluation is appropriate to identify and treat the many possible causes of your nausea.
