This could be functional dyspepsia?

News/Clinical Trials/Research

Hi, I’m 20F and I’ve been struggling with nausea mostly morning and a strong gag reflex for a while.

My symptoms are a bit strange and mostly happen in specific situations:

•	especially on an empty stomach, I feel gagging or nausea (not always actual vomiting).

•	my gagging and nausea can be increased due to stress of that day( for example if i’m staying at home , i’m good but if there is somewhere that i should go i have symptoms mostly)

•	I rearly had just once pain and sometimes burning 

•	I’m very sensitive to gas/bloating. Even mild bloating can trigger gagging, and burping sometimes relieves it.

•	Motion (metro, bus) makes it worse, especially in the morning. I’m close to throw up if i’m using metro bus early morning 

•	During the day, I’m usually much better and often feel normal.

- my appetite can be change sometimes i have normal appetite sometimes i dont feel any hunger and i always feel full

I have mild gastroptosis but my doctor said once this cant be reason of all symptoms

I don’t have:

•	Severe abdominal pain

•	Night-time vomiting that wakes me up

•	Significant recent weight loss (I’ve always been slim)

It feels like my stomach is overly sensitive to everything — emptiness, fullness, water, gas, motion.

Could this be functional dyspepsia? Or it’s just sensitivity i have this like more than year 🥲

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Thank you 🙏
