When you are nauseated, do you resist vomiting?

[Scouzer]

I generally puke once every five years. It's been about five years. I will resist puking even if it means I have to suffer 10x longer.

I am not in any pain or anything tonight, but I am getting wave after wave of nausea. I am resisting it, sure hope I'll be able to ride it out.

I know some people will embrace it, saying they feel better after... not me.

This is TMI,please contact your health care provider to discuss your symptoms.

Thank you,

I ride it out, too. Not sure why, I think it's just an internal struggle for supremacy and to try to keep the streak alive (haven't gotten sick (read: vomitted) since grade school) Every once and awhile (usually after a heavy night of drinking) I definitely think about "pulling the trigger" just so I feel better.

I am having a cup of ice water and it seems to help a bit. Even if I end up puking, water is not too unpleasant to vomit.

Take some tummy meds?

Took some Pepto, then some Tums about a half hour after... didn't do anything

Wish I had some Gravol

I vomit. It's so great when you're finally able to relieve the nausea by letting it out.
I puke probably 3-5times a month.
Anxiety does that to you.

i despise puking but it does feel great afterwards. i try to resist for a while but then eventually give up.

Yes, at all costs! I hate the taste, just thinking about the taste makes me wanna puke! That's why I haven't successfully puked in 27 years. A few times I've got a teaser of the taste, but managed to hold the rest down.

I resist until i just absolutely can't hold it back. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.

No, I welcome it like an old friend. It makes me feel better afterwards.

Same here. The sooner I puke and get settled down, the sooner I can focus on getting better. You can't do squat while you're spending all that time holding things back.
