10 Agoraphobia Symptoms
Symptom #9: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea refers to an unpleasant sensation where there is an urge to vomit. While nausea may not cause any pain, the symptom can become debilitating when prolonged as it places discomfort on the upper abdomen, chest, and back of the throat. Nausea is nature’s way of discouraging the animal or human from repeating whatever has triggered the unpleasant feeling. Vomiting refers to the involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and nose.
Both nausea and vomiting can occur due to disorders such as food poisoning, gastritis, tumors, and more. Both can be managed using antiemetics such as promethazine, ondansetron, and metoclopramide. In agoraphobia, the feeling of anxiety can be so intense that it results in nausea and vomiting.
