Hello doctor,I am a 20 year old female, not on any medication. I have stress, loss of appetite, feel sick when eating, throw up after eating, headache, and trouble sleeping.
Hello. When you say you are stressed, it would be helpful to know how bad the stress is. Do you frequently suffer from stress or do you get stressed out easily? If yes, all these symptoms you described can be attributed to stress alone. Moreover, too much mental or physical stress also aggravates existing dyspepsia or hyperacidity as this causes an increase in gastric acid secretion, hence the throwing up and loss of appetite. However, if you have other symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, or malaise, we would have to look at other possibilities too. Let me know if that is all you are feeling or if there is more to your symptoms. In the meantime, try to relax and de-stress yourself by listening to music or meditate and see if you feel any better. If not, then report back to me so that we can take a look at other probable factors. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
