Grief Keeping You Down?

Can grief make me feel sick?


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we would be talking about grief causing you to feel sick.

Have you heard of the phrase, ‘Feeling sick to my stomach?’ That is exactly how I felt when I realised what had happened. I had been present at the death of my first patient as a student.

It was a mix of abdominal pain, feeling nauseous with a vile tasting substance in my mouth. Yes, grief can cause that.

There has been a link between the disturbance of the gut and mental and emotional disorders an example of which is seen in irritable bowel syndrome.

Always remember to see your medical professional if you have any symptoms.

Here are a few things that you can do to help:

  • Hydration
  • Ensuring      a healthy diet (plant-based is helpful)
  • Exercise      or some form of movement which can be a walk outdoors
