Not necessarily. Nausea is nausea. Everyone knows what that feels like. The actual barfing does not have to occur. If it does, it is called nausea/vomiting. Does that make sense? It does to me, but I work with it every day.
Thanks. I have had three separate "events" and have not been treated. I'm not a person who vomits, but I definitely felt nauseous - as if I could've thrown up if I had tried.
That's why I asked. I won't go to a hospital as I have not a dime to my name and have no insurance. Was healthy as a horse until I went through some extreme stress for an extended period of time, then developed asthma symptoms.
I once had an anxiety attack in my mid-30s that had all the symptoms of a classic heart attack. My doc just told me to take 2 aspirin and keep taking them for every 6 hours for 2-3 days, so it would calm the tightened chest muscles. I did, and I was fine.
These others were just like that and that's what I did. Thanks for the info on nausea.
