We answer the questions here on Yahoo Answers rather than write to email addresses.

Yes, emetophobia has been part of my panic and anxiety disorder in the past.  I still panic is I feel the least bit sick and will take meds to stop it even not knowing that I am really going to be sick.  In my symptom manifestation, if I am unable to stop from vomiting, I will then force myself to do it to stop the nausea and the panic.

I have learned healthier methods of dealing with the emetophobia, which is just one of the symptoms of my panic disorder.
