I get really nauseous when I'm nervous or excited, and it usually happens in the morning. As soon as I wake up, I feel sick to my stomach and gag like crazy.

I sometimes get some of the symptoms you have. When I'm nervous or edgy I'll start gagging early in the morning and it goes on for like 10-15 minutes. I won't drink coffee when I feel stressed 'cause it only makes it worse.
Internet can be useful when you need information about something, but it can be destructive for hypochondriacs trying to find out what desease they think they have. When you search in those areas, you realize how many things can actually go wrong, when it comes to our health.
