Bf and I broke up yesterday as I found out he had cheated on me :(
Feel like my heart has been ripped out and emotionally I am a wreck, crying most of the day etc.
At the moment though what is really affecting me is the physical things, I feel so sick, like a have a lead weight in my stomach which is making me not eat, which is making me feel more sick etc. In the last 24 hours I have had about 10 spoonfuls of soup and half a yogurt, I honestly could not force down any more than that, tried to eat a banana took one bite and almost threw up!
My whole body is shaking, especially my hands, probably from the hunger and my chest aches like I've been punched. Have extremely bad headaches from all the crying and I got about 3 hours sleep last night!
Now I know that the only thing that can really heal me is time and I just have to wait for it to pass so to speak but can I ask the doctor to give me anything to help with the physical stuff in the meantime? I was planning to see the doctor anyway to get a check up for sti's etc so thought maybe I should ask while I was there?
Honestly feel like I wouldn't feel quite so shitty if I could get some rest but at the moment I cant :(Part of the reason I couldn't sleep last night was because my stomach hurt so much :(
I don't want to take anti-depressants because I know this is only temporary and it will pass but if I asked for sleeping tablets or something to help the nausea would they give it to me? I know there's no pill for a broken heart sadly but I'm worried I won't be able to look after the kids for long in the state I'm in I can hardly stand up straight :(
AIBU?
to wibu to ask the doctor to give me something?

Sorry to hear you are suffering 
You know it already but the best cure for sickness/nausea as a result of hunger is to eat. Go and make a piece of dry toast and just have a little bite. Then another in ten minutes, and so on.
You poor thing - what a shock that must have been.
I think telling the doctor what's going on with you would be a good idea, but there isn't going to be much they can do to overcome the side effects of not eating - what you really need to do is eat. Could you muster up some enthusiasm about your absolute favourite food? Or a treat that you would normally limit yourself with? Even having something like a proper cocoa made with milk will help line your stomach a little and might make you feel well enough to manage something else.
I hope you feel better soon, and there's plenty of room for you to vent on here if it would help to get it all off your chest! 
Sorry to hear you feel so crap after finding out something so awful.
Try motilium for the nausea and nytol to help you sleep, or there's a company called thisworks that makes an amazing deep sleep pillow spray that has worked a treat for me when I'm having bouts of insomnia. It's not cheap but it is fantastic. Twinning a make a great lemon and ginger tea that might help settle your tummy (and it's very nice, not like some other teas).
Eat little and often, things easily digested.
Sleeping tablets are not a good idea for this. I hope you feel better soon 
I doubt there is anything a doctor could give you and even if there was i doubt you would be given it. You broke up just yesterday, this is not an ongoing problem 24 hours of feeling sick does not warrant sleeping tablets or sickness meds.
You feel sick because you are upset and you haven't eaten. I'm not saying that eating a slice of toast will make all the pain go away but it will stop you from feeling so nauseous and weak. Plenty of fluids will help with the headaches too.
I know you must feel awful right now and I don't blame you but this WILL pass. Eat little and often and sip plenty of water. I hope you feel better soon

I'm afraid the GP can't really offer anything except sympathy. Tablets won't help. How you are feeling is completely normal; in time it will pass.
