Medical mental health or allergies confusion

[Jenisautistic]

Hey everybody

For a long time, I’ve had this sort of debate with doctors. Well, let’s say difference. In opinion. My doctor, sometimes says that my getting nauseous and throwing up sometimes could be anxiety rather than a Gastro issue or allergies

I have heard a few things from different people

I’m not sure who to believe at this point

There are sometimes I get really sick and nonstop throw up for apparently no reason

For me, I don’t think that is really all nerves if any

Sometimes I feel notice just maybe a bit dizzy and such then my doctor tells me to take allergy medication like Zyrtec or Claritin and then it clears up after a little bit

I explained that sometimes I feel this way and he suggested it could be anxiety as I was mentioning this to him. I also mentioned as he knew that I’ve been off my closmpam since the fire because it was hard to get the medication back and after I was able to be able to get it renewed, I just didn’t take it

Another thing is, it could also be my Gastro system as I had problems with that when I was little

I just wonder how to proceed with this as it is so confusing

Hi @Jenisautistic.
Are you close enough to Canada to be affected by its wildfire smoke?

Hi @Jenisautistic.

To be honest, I’m not sure. it is possible

But
Although I am unsure what caused the fire that occurred in my apartment was not due to that

Doctors tend to go for the easy answer until forced into something else. Any evidence that it is NOT anxiety needs to be told and explained until the doctor listens.

I once went to a doctor for malaria (this was in Tucson, one of the least malarial areas in the country). His immediate reaction was "another hypochondriac." It was only after I explained that I just got back from a seriously malarial endemic country, and that I was getting chills followed by fever at the same time every day that he started to listen. After that he was still doubtful, but but his reaction now was "I've never treated a case of malaria before. If you really have it, this is going to make my day."
