what?

Answer 1

oh, good question. i like to place both my hands on a flat surface (like bathroom tile, for example), and put some effort into it. it seems that if you try hard to 'not' puke, you are prolonging the problem. you will feel better if you let the cheerios fly. however, if you are lunging and nothing is coming out, that is a different story...you may be in this for the long-run.

Answer 2

I Feel Like Throwing Up

Answer 3

If you are not pregnant, then there is something in your stomach that is not digesting well. It is best to let it out.

Having said that, feeling nausious is a bad feeling. You can suck on a peppermint candy. Sometimes that helps. Drinking water will probably help as well. If you end up throwing up a lot, try to drink some gatorade when you are done. That will help to replace the elecrolytes you will lose.

Answer 4

I like to lay down and stop thinking about throwing up. Some people feel like throwing up cause they are feeling anxious like me tell yourself No I will not think about throwing up!! eating something could make you feel better.

Answer 5

I find if you're really feeling sick there is nothing wrong with making yourself sick. Its gross, yeah, but it really is the quickest way to feeling better again.

If I feel sick but not really on the verge of BEING sick I like to get a shower. The water can be really soothing...just enjoy it and dont worry about things like shampooing or soaping up...standing in the water is all you need.

When you're done laying on your bed in front of a fan is good...sometimes I feel sicker if I dont feel like I'm getting enough air, so the breeze helps. Putting a cold cloth on your head feels nice and can help you get to bed too. And nibbling on a cracker (saltines are the best) can help put your stomach more at ease. If you're thirsty a little ginger ale or water is okay, but just a little....too much might fill your stomach up and make you feel worse.

Hope you feel better.

Answer 6

Depends. If you just want to settle your stomach, try a bit of 7-up or perrier ( a small bit ) or lay down for a few minutes. Crackers and dry toast are good, too. They call it the "BRAT Diet" - Bananas Rice Applesauce and Toast - for nausea and unsettled stomachs.

If you're talking about how to stop that mouth watering "I'm going to throw up right now" feeling, try gum or a lifesaver.

Throwing up can be a good thing if you're sick and sometimes you'll feel better if you just get it over with. Remember not to drink liquids for at least 15 minutes after you do or you'll just start a cycle by sending your stomach into spasms. (It's ok to rinse your mouth out, just don't drink anything.)

Good luck.

Answer 7

I just try to come to peace with the fact that it needs to happen. But if you wait like 20 minutes and nothing happens then it is probably so leave a bucket by you in case and just sleep it off if you still feel bad then try some Sprite or saltines

Answer 8

Go ahead and throw up, you will feel better. It's your body's way of rejecting a substance that is harmful.\, like acid. If you have chronic problems with this go to a GI doctor. Some people swear that taking the spice ginger helps chronic nausea.

Answer 9

I start with taking 3 Pepto Bismal tablets. If that doesn't work, then I just let it happen. You always feel better afterwards, even if you're like me, a big whiny baby when it's time to throw up. Afterwards, I rinse my mouth with warm water for several seconds, then munch on saltines like Krispy brand. Ritz are too buttery & can make you throw up again. Cinnamon toast helps, as long as it's buttered very lightly. Drink Sprite, diet or regular is fine. The flatter the better for your tender stomach. If you don't like Sprite, Coke works, diet or regular. Drinking water before you throw up is ok, if you don't want dry heaves. Milk can cause you to throw up again from the lactose.

Answer 10

Lay blankets down by the bathroom if this happens at night also drink sprite or ginger ale .saltines are usually good . If in the morning you still feel sick have oatmeal and use a starch diet like potatoes. A cold cloth to your head is always good. Hope you feel better

Answer 11

if you feel like throwing up drink water then if saliva starts forming in your mouth might as well get to the bathroom toilet as fast as you can because the throwing up will start and if nothing comes out and your just coughing you will feel like throwing up again because nothing came out.
