My cholesterol is normal. My blood pressure, however, is really low. Not dangerously low, not gotta-be-medicated-for-it low, but low enough that if it got any lower, that would probably be the case. Wonder if that has anything to do with it...

I'm hoping the Lexapro will be my miracle. For a short while yesterday, after taking it, I felt fantastic and it gave me a little hope. Then I went right back to not being able to eat. But it was only my first day... I know I have to give it time.

Oooh, me too! I have pretty darn low blood pressure, and I *know* it was lower when I was battling nausea on a daily basis ('cause I would faint a lot more). Are you getting enough salt, sweetie? Salt can be a great help - if you're drinking lots of liquids and have low BP, you really need it. Also, little salty snacks like pretzels tend to settle the tummy.

Just keep on keeping on. The stress will end, and so will the nausea if anyone on this board has anything to say about it!

p.s. I'll be crossing my fingers that the yoga helps too! If all the intense torso muscle work bugs you, just try to bike or walk or something where it's just your legs working. I find that sort of exercise to be the easiest to do when I'm feeling pukey.
