More Medical Advise Needed- Hyperactive Gag Reflex

Now I am gagging! How does that work, you just say, "Hey doc, give me a shot of that, no chaser!"

 

When I brush my teeth, if I brush too far back on my tongue, I almost hurl every time! Guess I would make a bad ghey!

 

Now I just puked

 

Could be psychological, or could be neurological.

Does your heart start to race at all? Do you feel other signs of anxiety? If you look at the offensive object, are you subconsciously saying, "OMG, what if I puke?" This type of Omg what if thought wakes up your brains fear center, it then releases a chemical in your bloodstream that diverts the blood from your GI tract instantly, into your arms and leg muscles so you can survive. This may leave you feeling queasy. It causes your heart to speed up, breathe more shallow, opens up the pupils, moves blood out of the head into your arms and legs, all so you survive.

It makes you feel queasy and yucky though, if you aren't busy running from the tiger. The cure is to participate in Cognitve Behavioral Therapy to identify and retrain your thoughts, and to practice relaxation exercises. Google it, maybe you can self treat.

My first thought is go see your PCP and ask if you should see a neurologist, or even an ENT

Oh, and Mom says, "Quit smoking dope!" You got a kid now to set and example for

 

You should probably smoke more.

 

God Seldom,
you going to need to get that fixed before the baby gets any older. Things are going to get serious in the diaper soon enough. There can be like whole blue berries and such in there.

 

What quality of herb are you burning? What method do you use?

 

In medicine, when a patient presents with unexplainable symptoms, a quick look at all medicines is of first order, after a complete family or medical history. Most practitioners then stop ALL meds (if possible, without causing harm) to allow for the body to clear everything out.
Clear it our, seldom. And I do not mean for a couple of hours, but more likely a couple of weeks (body fat absorbes and retains many compounds and acts as a reservoir for substances so you need time to clear). After an appropriate time spell, then make decisions, and rechallenge your senses to see if you react in similar fashion.
Sobriety is a high in itself.
You have my best wishes for an easy resolution to your dilemma.

 

"Moist practitioners"-- where does one find this most interesting expert?

 

you are not smoking enough weed, i advise more weed.

 

Ah yes, the old loaded diaper trick. You will be begging for mercy at the very smell of it. What's even better is, your kid will be laughing at you while you hunker down.
My suggestion is smoke more blueberry lush.

Sorry...a true typo....should be "most". I corrected it.

 

One of number of articles on the use of cannabis to reduce nausea in cancer patients undergoing chemo...
http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000137

 

But be careful to be balanced in what you read and where:

"Despite more than 30 years of clinical research, only a small number of randomized, controlled trials have been conducted on smoked cannabis. These trials were short term and involved a total of ~300 patients. Results of these trials indicate… substantially better alternatives than smoked cannabis are available to treat patients with glaucoma or chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting."
AMA

My view is that a LARGE (patient numbers) double-blind, randomized clinical study is required before recommendations are made. And it really should be done. Marijuana for nausea? Meh, for me: NOT. MArijuana for fun: Absolutely.

 

I had an issue like this about 20 years ago. Mine was yawning, over and over like 200 times a day. Anything would make me yawn. I know yawning can be pleasurable but this was the most annoying thing i had ever gone through. I even got tmj and a lock jaw like condition from it. I finally determined it started from smoking too much, not marijuana but tabacco. I guess my body felt like i was getting tired because i wasnt getting enough oxygen and was making me yawn. The more I thought about it the more I yawned. The answer was to stop smoking as much, stop thinking about it and let it go away on its own. It finally did but took almost a month.

 

Mom/Grandma, now 84, lost her much of her vision due to glaucoma. She is also a very negative, anxiety-filled person. Fusses over almost everything. Been that way much of her life. If a little cannabis in Granny's Krsipy Kremes might've helped to mitigate any of this, what's to lose?

If I or my loved ones were suffering from cancer and its treatment, I certainly would not rule out the use of marijuana.

 

No matter how "senile" you believe me to be, I am much more intelligent, better educated than you could ever even dream to be. You see, I go by evidence, not by your subjective anecdotal lack of evidence mentality.
And, importantly, I am much better looking than you. All this makes me a lot happier as well.
Now, go forth and be miserable.
