Emetophobia: Emetophobia is a phobia that causes overwhelming, intense anxiety pertaining to vomiting. This specific phobia can also include subcategories of what causes the anxiety, including a fear of vomiting in public, a fear of seeing vomit, a fear of watching the action of vomiting or fear of being nauseated. Treating vomit phobia is best accomplished through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

You have to try: to find out WHY you are reacting this way...while vomiting is not "pleasant" it should not invoke such fear! Get some counseling...Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may be useful...ask your PCP or Family Physician. Hope this is helpful Dr Z
