Vertigo / Severe Chronic Motion Sickness / Constant Nausea

i find that to reduce nausea i take deep breathes of cold air, so outside, or sip a cold glass of water. also sit down else you could get dizzy sometimes. i have had a loss of apetite and fors days i didnt eat a thing, eating some dry toast helps or someone dry can help. im not sure if you have but visit a doctor and ask them about cyclizine i was prescribed it a couple of weeks ago and just taking one of those helps to reduce nausea for hours. Hope this helped

hi  thanks for tips, lve had 2 or 3 prescribed anti nausea meds, cant recall all the names, one was lopra......, also try gaviscon and crystal ginger, they help a little. l do have to sit down to try settle it, and l do eat a lot of crackers, l,m feeling good that its settled  well the last week or so, just odd bouts, like having a life again in being able to move distances re more than loyds without it becomes severe, but l still dont want meals, l dont know if that is instinctive, or phycalogical. knowing meals can set it off, as with anything too flavoured, even flavoured spring water and l start repeating up,  so it seems l can only tolerate small plain food at present, even before nausea l would feel very full with only small meals, but  still a relief not to be overcome with severe nausea. lve got a referral to a gastroenterologist next week, see what he has to say,  but l wonder if its connected with bowel or bladder, as also problematic. l agree that stress is also a trigger  for me, but usual vicious circle in the symptoms cause more stress.  Interested to know what your diet is, are you able to eat a full meal, and does it make it worse if you do, if so do you just eat small amount of plain food, and  have you lost weight with it, think lve lost about a stone over last few month but was 2 stone oweight before, so hardly wasting away, but l  look very pale and drawn when its bad and sleep more with it, . l hope someone has other advice for you, l,ll let you know what the ologist has to say about it.  Hope yours settles a bit for you soon, not much fun having time offf school and feeling like .....

Thanks hopefully you will be sorted sounds like you have had it much longer than me. i took only one day off school this week mainly because i threw up and i havent slept a full 8 hrs in about 6 months, any tips on getting to sleep would be great. Hopefully you will be feeling better soon!

hi thanks for reply, my nausea had been settled fairly well for a week or, meaning l could walk more than l0yds without it becoming severe, felt better for that and less tired sleepy, day naps, but like you my nights are restless up and down. Yesterday with it being settled a week and feeling good with it, l got tempted when out and had a s f chicken fajito salad with coleslaw, so   nausea and tired sleepiness quite bad today. But maybe confirms to me that food other than small and plain aggrevates it.

l dont throw up with it, but think l would if l ate normal meals quantities, so now back on plain and small, rather do that than the nausea. But will see what gastro e says on tuesday. Maybe someone else can give tips on settled decent sleep, could do with some myself, not easy for those whove to go to school work feeling tired.   

good for you i have to have small quantities of food sometimes i wont eat at all but going to school is tricky i mean i have to walk 1 and a half miles to school 3 miles each day and with me feeling sick and tired constantly its a real struggle.

hopefully you will find something useful on tuesday i hate those doctors who take a blood test or an x ray and dont even give you any results then the next time you visit the doctor they give you the results and it ends up you have something, so annoying, hopefully nothing serious and all will be fine i might have to have a blood test if it continues so hopefully you wont
