Question: When I leave the house and go on public transportation such as train or bus I start to worry that I’m going to vomit or get sick from someone else or think I have some illness. And I’d start to feel a little nauseous (like loss of appetite) not major nausea, and my heart will start to beat a bit fast and I’ll just feel a hot feeling but then it goes away after a few minutes if I smoke or start walking around doing something or I’ll have a sip of water, listen to music or keep myself busy. Also, I googled symptoms and some of the conditions google lists are serious conditions. I start to get scared and don’t want to go places because I think I’m going to vomit, and I don’t eat out in public because of the same reason above. And I’m afraid of getting full because maybe I’d throw up or something and then start feeling the same way, so I’ll smoke a cigarette and I’ll calm down. I haven’t been eating much (I’ve went 1-2 days without eating out of fear) and I just drink water and eat little because I don’t want to feel sick. I also check the food like 100% to make sure it’s cooked and who ever cooked it washed their hands, if the food is old, or has an odd taste or someone else gets sick from it then I start to think I am. There were days I thought I was sick and just stayed in bed all day. also when I’m out in public eating or just in a place outside my home then I’m like feeling my forehead, neck and back constantly checking myself if I have a temperature. This has been going on for about 7-8 months. What’s causing my symptoms? Do you think It’s some type of underlying illness?? I google a lot and sometimes makes things worse.

Yes most of the time it’s when I’m out in public places I feel this. Very rarely do I feel it when I’m in my room, the times that I do feel it in my room are when I just come back home and I need calm down in my room or after a cigarette. And if I think about it then I experience symptoms
