All of a sudden I am starting to become very nauseas and I always feel like I want to throw up. What's going on? Am I eating enough? Is it the heat? Has anyone else been experiencing this recently?

Nausea can be caused by all kinds of things. For me, personally, the heat will do it, as will not drinking enough. Especially during the summer, I have to drink CONSTANTLY - like, I literally don't go more than 10 minutes without a drink from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed. If I don't do that, I get queasy.
Nausea can also be caused or worsened by anxiety. If you've found yourself more anxious about something lately, that could be contributing.
Not eating often enough is another common culprit. Back before I stabilized, I had to nibble on a little something - even if it was just a couple crackers - at least every couple hours. On bad days, I would eat almost every hour, just a little nibble to keep my stomach from being empty.
I'm assuming you've already ruled out things like a stomach bug (it sounds like this has been going on for a while - right?) or pregnancy.

That seems a bit harsh, don't you think?

I didn't have time to read MissS's post, but I'm sure it would have amused me.
About the nausea, no I'm not pregnant. I'm not really sure what it is. I'm thinking it could be the heat, mostly and a couple other things you've mentioned. It's just starting to bother me. 
Thanks for your response.

Nausea is the *worst*, I swear.
But do try drinking more, and nibbling on crackers. If you can handle the taste of it, ginger is fantastic for nausea - I swear I lived on it for about 6 months, heh. Ginger altoids will do in a pinch, but there's a candy that's sometimes available in health food stores, called Gin Gins, and they are *strong*. Very good for nausea.
Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you very much for your response. I find that peppermint helps relieve it temporarily, but water doesn't do much. Sometimes I just try to sleep it off. I chew gum which helps, but I know not everyone can do that, but it works for me without a problem.
Thanks again!

I sometimes get nausous when it gets extremely humid and hot outside and there's no air-conditionering. There's not much I could do when this happens (can't have tea because it's too hot!). Sorry for not being much help.

Alli,
I have noticed that since the weather got warmer (and by warmer I mean over 100 degrees) I have felt nauseous frequently. Try to drink plenty of water and stay cool if you can.

Nausea can be caused by several things including, but not limited to high heat/humidity, dehydration, heat exhaustion, morning sickness (which you said you ruled out), side-effects from OTC and RX drugs, a food or supplement you might be taking that's new to your system, etc. I agree with the others, stay well hydrated and out of the heat as much as possible. I am also suffering from a lot of nausea, I live in Phx, AZ. It's monsoon season here now. It's disgusting and sticky and miserable, heh. Also, if I don't eat often enough, I get nauseous, and I also still sometimes suffer from motion sickness, but not as badly as when I was younger. Sometimes dizziness accompanies my nausea. Hope it resolves soon. If not, you might want to try talking to you doc, or eliminate anything new that you're taking/eating (again I suggest asking a doc first for advice) b/c chronic nausea may be a sign of something else going on, or it may be simply that that new food or new med you tried is causing it.

Ginger comes in capsule form too. There's also one of the B vitamins that is supposed to help with nausea, I can never remember whether it's B12 or B6, but you can always ask your doc or your local pharmacicist which B vitamin helps with nausea. I take the ginger capsules. I bet ginger altoids would be yummy, but once I tried some really strong ginger candy, but it was a bit toooo strong. So I stick with the capsules, they aren't as fast-acting of course, but about 70% of the time, they've helped me, even if just a little. Nausea is no fun at all, I toally agreey with that! *comforts*

Lucky! :P If I'm not careful, chewing gum gets gas into my tummy and worsens the nausea. That's good that it helps you, but don't give up on the water.
