    Yes, it is normal - Emetophobia. I have it, and unfortunately it has caused me many problems as it is something that can't really be avoided if you're ill...

    I'm the same way, so it's totally normal. But fortunately for me I don't throw up very often.

      forgot to say, when ever you feel it coming, rush and wash your face with cold water, it make the urge of throwing up fade a way..well it works for me at least.
