    Sometimes throwing up isn't the best answer. If you don't throw up naturally just tough it out and you will start to feel better. I've had days like this (feel like having to throw up, but can't) and I just veg out until I start to feel better. Drink plenty of water, green or white tea, and rest. Feel better!

    ugh i hate feeling nauseous and wanting to throw up. it is the worst feeling!

    i recently ate seafood that didn't agree with me and a cocktail and starting feeling like i was going to throw up, but all i did was hover over the porcelain bowl. i chugged a glass of water, ran my hand underneath the faucet, then thought about something "that makes me sick," in my case allowing myself to be treated like a fool in a relationship. that did the trick.

    i hope u feel better soon.

    Go to the drug store, get ipecac syrup, and take it according to the directions. It will make you vomit. If you are under 18, you need to talk with your parents about this.

    Stick your fingers down your throat as far as you can reach and touch your tonsils. This should initiate your gag reflex and make you vomit.
