Any tips on how to moderate this?

I wake up feeling sick (and often am sick) daily, root cause is anxiety/stress, but I’m looking for a short term solution while the main issue is addressed.

Travel sickness pills?

what are your exercise levels like?

I'd try and address the stress and anxiety before going medicinal.

Peppermint tea is good also ginger biscuits, ice cold water with lemon juice as well helps.

In the short term while you're trying to fix the source of the anxiety ask for a propanolol prescription, it's a beta blocker that's given to people with anxiety regularly. It won't do anything to actually fix the anxiety but it blocks the symptoms so you can be functional.

Also cbd is good for nausea.

Others will disagree, but anxiety medication is very helpful.

I've taken it in the past, and my wife needed it after the death of her father. Don't rule it out just because it's drugs, that's the same as not taking paracetamol when you have a headache.

See a doctor

Thanks folks, correct answer as ever is see a doctor!

Sick again this morning, friend has given me some travel sickness pills (over the counter meds) to see if they help until I can get an appointment.
