Need Some Peace Of Mind
Hi everyone! So I have been smoking on and off for a few years now, and I am currently dealing with nausea. My body hates me and I have tons of health problems, so my anxiety brain goes straight to CHS, but after looking into it, I don’t think I have it, but my anxiety is telling me that I do because I am dealing with similar symptoms. I’ve dealt with constant nausea for weeks at a time in the past year, but never got to the severe vomiting. Nausea has been in my life since I was a kid due to anxiety, but this past Sunday, I threw up three times in the morning, went to an urgent care, and received anti nausea medication. Monday I did not vomit at all but I did have nausea, and this morning, I threw up twice so I went back to a different urgent care, and I did tell them I smoke, but they actually diagnosed me with some type of stomach bug/viral thing and was prescribed a different anti nausea medication.
So the fact that I’m not having that intense screaming vomiting for hours at a time, and the fact that my nausea goes away and comes back every couple weeks makes me think that it isn’t CHS related at all. I never slowed down or changed the frequency I smoke, I use it for my insomnia, so that also makes me think it isn’t CHS because the symptoms are coming and going even though I haven’t changed the amount I smoke. I haven’t tried showering yet to see if it lessens because the nausea comes in waves for me, especially after I take my medication, so I’m thinking it probably isn’t CHS related because I never really fit any of the phases, just had a few similar symptoms. If I’m wrong about any of that please tell me! Whether I think I have it or not, I am planning to see a gastroenterologist anyways because I was on tons of antibiotics in 2025 so my GI system is already all messed up without CHS. I would appreciate any help and feedback to settle my mind! Thank you!
