Nausea and Vomiting

Posted , 4 users are following.

Iv had a lot of nausea and bad vomiting over the past three weeks. but it has been ongoing for a year.

I know Iv lost a lot of weight'. and doctors are still taking their time to figure out what it is. I live with this everyday'. and I cant seem to eat anything properly. Iv been on this site so many times trying to figure out answers. I have an appointment with another Doctor who is suppose to be a really Good doctor, apparently. . I actually feel like throwing up now. I need a lot of support for what I am going through'. and I need answers fast'. I feel like Im losing my life because of this. I cant seem to work either which is really frustrating. Im losing everyone around me because of this constant nausea. and throwing up. Im so tired of living like this. Im not suicidal but I do have thoughts of maybe my life would be so much better if I wasnt living in this constant sickness'. I was throwing up water. Doctors have done a lot of blood tests and PH STUDY TEST AND ENDOSCOPIES. i HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. next is a stool test'. I saw a dietitian . I had no idea I could throw up after chewig on pineapple lumpps or Porridge for breakfast. I feel like its something really severe and I feel like im slowly deteriorating'. as in have no meat on me at all'. because Im constantly throwing up . I feel so sick . its not funny'. im expecting not to live for another Year due  to losing weight and constant throwing up and nausea. Still no answers from doctors etc.

    Has your dietician mentioned the Fodmap diet to try and identify food triggers?   You could also ask for allergy testing, colonoscopy/barium enema  CT and ultrasound. Do you have any stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation with the nausea?  I have IBS and get stomach pain, nausea, constipation and sometimes loose stools. If all these tests along with the stool samples are negative, IBS can be diagnosed.

      I have the FOD mAP diet book but it is also expensive to live by these healthy food, as I cant afford all these types of foods.I havent had the Stool test done yet. I have three tests I have to get done. I also have a breast care cetntre appointment. as I have a lot of lumps around my breasts actually hurts. they cancelled the original appointment cos I told them I couldnt make it to the appointment as its such a distance and everything costs money these days. Nothing is free.I have constipation at times and I also have a CT SCAN OR ULTRASOUND TEST NEXT WEEK. . I have had the barium swallow test, and that come back negative as well. I noticed that weetbix is a bad trigger for me it makes me nauseated. and chocolates e.g. milkyway. I do love cakes its so nice after a dinner. but I do get nauseated afterwards, especially with milky way and pineapple lumps, and weetbix. sometimes bread like normal bread. I have been prescribed anti nausea tablets, I tried to take that but it seemed like it was making it worse I do have constipation tablets too. I feel like I'll get sick afterwards of taking that.

      I would cut out your trigger foods and the nausea tablets and see if you feel any better.  Ask your doctor to change your medication if you are having reactions.  I was put on Mebeverine and I felt worse so I stopped them and tried Buscopan after my diagnosis and felt better.  Also ask about celiac testing and non celiac gluten intolerance.

      I have had the celiac test, you name it Iv had all the tests you can possibly think of , and now I have a breast scan next week and also a ct scan which I think is an ultrasound, I was even referred to a dietitian. which I had to enquire about. Iv had a HPYLORI TEST as well. My partner had been with me majority of the time when I go to the doctors, sometimes he cant be there and thats ok.but if its urgent I expect him to be there'. because theres nothing worse than going through something alone., I think when people are lonely they talk to others who are going through the same thing as them or to people who will listen to them . sometimes you have to put yourself first at times'. its a necessity not a selfish thing when it comes to your health'. But yes celiac testing I had and A THROAT swab'. anxiety only comes on when I feel nauseated etc'. its horrible'.

      Did the tests you have had come back negative?  Ask your doctor about IBS.
    • Posted

      Yes they all come back negative, and yeah I have asked my doctor about IBS,Iv heard of it before, for everytime she writes me a medical certificate she puts it down to Gastro etc etc . Which is wrong because I had a acid level test done on me and they told me its not that.. Well thats what the specialists told me'.I actually think they doctor doesnt know what I have. I asked nurses about my results and every single test I have done have all come back negative. Now I have a breast screening test or what not to do , I have to start back at the beginning again and I also have a ultrasound ct scan to do later on in the following week. etc

      Maybe the acid test is not accurate if you are still having problems with regurgitation which would suggest reflux.   Reflux/regurgitation can cause nausea.  Feeling unwell and not getting answers can make you anxious.  I had three months of anxiety before I got diagnosed.  The only thing that improved it was finding a doctor who understood my symptoms.

    While waiting for the doctor, did they give you a prescription for anti nausea or Gerd medicine such as Nexium or Zantac? If not you try Zantac after meal and buy some enzyme tablets like Beano to see if it works. You can not just let it destroy you like that. Do not give up. I dont know how old are you but I feel very sorry for you. You should eat even liquid. Take vitamine B. Stress can cause nausea and vomitting. Do exerxices and have a chat with psychologists or family members or friends the real issue in your heart or in your mind. You dont tell me what endoscopy results is so it is very hard to advise you based on your info. You eat slowly and listen to music while eating can help.  Try to sleep as much as possible. when you have nothing in the stomatch it is hard to sleep. If needed, buy Phernergan it helps you to sleep as well as control your nausea.Take it at early night and tell me how you feel. One night or three nights for trial first and if it doesnt work, then we will look at other issue of your illness. May be blood test will show uo something. Good luck and let me know the results. If you ask for advice then you should follow and see how it goes. Dont be scare of one or two tablets. At the same time , give up drinking alcohol, coffee, chocolate. Eat meat lean meat. Vegetable is hard to digest. Eat mince meat. Shewing slowly. Tak eyour mind of your illness. I wish you all the best.

      Thanks. I have an ct scan next week. at the hospital. Im wondering if I will be ok. because I have been through numerous tests. blood test, and also a throat swab, and barium swallow test, an endoscopy, and also a PH STUDY TEST , which is tubes in your nosethat goes into your stomach'. some people try and pretend like they have been through the same test as me, but I know for sure that they have no idea what its like, its like listening to someone who doesnt know what they're talking about. and im open to options but Im also sick of people thinking they know my pain, cause reality is they have no idea what they're talking about, Im also annoyed with doctors being as they bounce me over to other doctors. Iv been going through this for over a year and a half. and Doctors still have no diagnosis, A diagnosis would be nice. one doctor said I had acid reflux and this is my GP WHO IV KNOWN FOR 15 YEAS OF MY LIFE , and the tests come back nil basically minimum acid inside me. because I always feel like I need to regurtitate. and get really nauseated, I also have a white coating on my tongue Im also going to hospital to have a check up . for lumps on my breast.s. its just actually really tiering and draining going through all this. I havent been able to work properly or work at all. as this does take a toll on my life. I have been prescribed anti nausea tablets and pantoprazole all that stuff...I have a bloated stomach also and I FEEL LIKE iV LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT AROUND MY ARMS. its disgusting. cause I never imagined in a million years that this invisiblle unknown mystery sickness I have is taking a toll on me :-(

Yes I am suffering like hell. its a nightmare really. I have had numerous of blood tests, and it come back negative, I had a pH TUDY TEST DONE, tubes through the nose to your stomach, come back negative.I have had an endoscpy come back negative, I have a barium swallow test, come back negative. Iv been taking gaviscon. that stuff is disgusting. Im just fed up with it all. taking all this stuff. doesnt seem to be working I have three tests coming up. a ct scan, ultrasound, and stool test. I dont know what else to do. all the stuff over in the states, is cheaper than where I live. I dont vomit over stress. I had a reaction to something I had eaten as Im hoping that you read'?

      If I were you, I would go for Breast X ray first. Yours sound like Breast cancer to me. Only you can cure your illness for you know exactly the symptoms are and your reaction to medication or test. Tiredness can cause nausea. If you dont sleep enough, easy to get nausea too. So I dont know what to say but at least you know you have no reflux for no doctor said you had it. Good luck and tell me the results.

      Where are you from? Zantac is very popular even in VN a small country have it?

      Whats VN? I had a breast check up last year, and there were two nurses at present at the time. checking around to see how many lumps I had'. she said it was probably nothing to worry about,but for me to go for another check up test, and I couldnt go for another check up test as it is a long distance where I live. to get to the Main Hospital as they dont do it in small towns so they cancelled the whole thing altogether. Iv even enquired about a kidney test check up and the nurse I spoke to not 30 minutes ago said it would have showed up in the blood tests, it is expensive to travel backwards and fourths to hospitals etc. So now I have to rearrange for another check up and start all over again with them checking me out again. for breast check up. so I am going to that next week. just dont like the idea of staying at the hospital for 4 hours. etc. as I do get nauseated. and getting nauseated and throwing up or the feeling of throwing up and even infront of others is shameful embarassing.I cant control the nausea. so I have an ultrasound test after the breast test check up . few days after that. The nurse then suggested we have done so many tests on you. and suggested it could be bulima, which I dont believe reason being is because I love food. and I do like to eat, I dont shy away from food. I eat more than my partner'. and im skinnier than him  but I have noticed Iv lost a fair bit of weight. I dot know whats causing it. especially around my arms and shoulders. I cant control the nausea. it is what it is', its jsut strange that I dont know whats causing the nausea as the nurse spoke to me and told me they have done alot of tests. hplori test and one for kideny test and liver test and endoscopies, and barium swallow test, and PH sTUDY TEST. So its not like Iv missed out on tests. and Im not making this all up. I do suffer with the chronice nausea. at times and burping. if I dont go for an ultrasound then I dont know if I'll feel at ease etc.

      V N is Viet Nam. Where do you live? I am in Australia. I feel sorry for you and I just try to help you but it seems out of my knowledge. All I can say now is calming down and pray to God and good luck.

      Well theres not much else to say'. Im just a little confused with how these doctors cannot figure out what Is going on . even when they suggest it is anxiety. I find that to be the most ridiculous thing Iv hearad as anxiety doesnt cause vomiting'. Before I actually came down ill with this sickness I was eating at the table. Dinner'. and afterwards I felt so sick'.I walked off the table and  I was lying on the bed'. my partner walks in and says whats wrong I said I dont feel well. he said did you eat too much, I said no, because half of my dinner was still on the plate.like 3 quarters of my dinner' was still on my plate'. and believe me I was a healthy weight'. I was just  v Sore I think I was sick even the next day. stomach was rumbling . almost like a case of diarheaea and then that went away and the next day it hit me. the whole burping and nauseated feeling etc'.

      I have been told I have anxiety too and unfortunately the anxiety can send triggers out to other parts of the body like pulses and thus can affect our gut and yes this can cause sickness and diarrhoea I am told. 

      I would just start coughing as if I had something in my throat and within 10 mins I would be sick but for me it was more prevalent after an IBS attack so as IBS attacks have reduced so has the sickness. The last time for me was Good Friday and I was so ill I had to go to hospital, coughing blood etc but have not been sick since so it is more intermittent now but when attacks do happen they can be very violent.

      Anxiety can cause vomiting.  My boyfriend used to get so anxious with his exams that he vomited.  When I was doing my university degree, I sometimes got very loose, urgent bowel movements.  The brain and the gut are linked.

      I was not ill during my university days except the day of the exam. Maybe this was a warning of what was to come.

      I completely agree and I had both symptoms.

      I will add since I have given up alcohol I have been better. I did not drink to excess, unlike in my teenage years when I played in bands, but one glass of a red with a meal seem to upset my body too.

      Obviously at the time the doc said one glass will not do you any harm but I have come to the conclusion maybe it did as since I have cut it out completely I am rising easier and feeling better so maybe that one glass was upsetting the balance of my system in some way.

      I have come to the conclusion maybe one does not need to drink to excess to suffer negative effects from alcohol.

      I am not an expert just what I have observed about my own body.

      Only you can cure yourself. You know what is bugging your mind and relieve it. think positive. whatever happen will happen. Worry doesnt help. I try not to worry anymore. I get opportunity to go out and enjoy so that I can take my mind of my worries. I hope you find peaceful in your mind too. God bless.

      I'm on holiday in Italy now for three months.  I'll have lots more exercise and less stress so my IBS should be hardly noticeable.

      I see the writing is working out then smile . Italy very nice although not for me I don't fly but have a lovely holiday and I am sure 3 weeks of stress free relaxation will do wonders for your health.

      I believe your situation that you have anxiety , sometimes Im not even anxious and I have nauseated feeling. just to put it out there. Im not anxious. Im anxious for everytime I get a lil sick but thats the only time I get anxious, I dont get anxious out of the blues or if im out in the Open its only when I start getting sick . Otherwise Im fine. I think you have to find out whether anxiety is caused by others as there are alot of people who want you to suffer like them I know alot of people who arent happy with life so they try and put it onto others and make others feel Bad. because they are anxious. I never get anxious on a test unless I know for sure that Im not prepared for it. if Im confident Im going to pass or at least have been studying or preparing for it I dont get anxious. People have bad anxiety when they arent in control of other people or in control of a situation because I feel like they try and control other people  and when they cant they try and bring their stupidity onto others.

      Thank you and the only thing that is bugging me is this sickness or peoples stupidity. I do like the comfort of being able to chat and coversate with others on this website. as they are in the same situation as me or at least a bit . my mind is not bugging me, nausea is bugging me'. and its not caused by anxiety.

      My father once had a couging spasm and coughed out blood, and his was due to drinking' I think. I dont expect my partner to suffer with me. with my sickness as I am there for him Vice Versa'.especially when it comes to giving him advice. everybody has a bit of demons and sometimes its good to just sit there and listen but if its the same thing that was talked about yesterday . and the day before yesterday and the day before that it does get a bit overwhelming so It goes both ways not one way. I dont know what its like to have a coughing spasm I cant imagine how much pain that would be'. I just hope everybody the best and its so good to talk to people on here'. or interact I should say. :-) Its unfair on my partner yes, but he does know my condition so its not like im forcing him to stay with me '.  but I really think alot of people who are anxious is caused by other people. Iv seen it before. I noticed a girl I use to work with didnt even want to go to work because she was so scared of what people thought of her she didnt want to be around people who were negative'. cause they were always finding the faults in her and could never appreciate the Goodness and everything she did was apprently wrong'. so she gave up and started getting anxiety , you will be amazed at how much other peoples behaviour can affect someones situation.and self esteem.

      I drank a lot when I was much younger so not the first time this has happened so 20 years ago I may have caused some minor damage. I toured many years ago and never had much tolerance for alcohol. I think it is inevitable if one is well and the other unwell and my last partner at 31 was nearly 10 years younger. I became a burden. Sounds like you have a strong relationship. I do not talk about my problems because it would be the same problem discussed again and again and I just could not do it. 

      More annoying than painful. It is good to talk here and if I say the same so be it but if this was face to face I would feel bad and would not be able to do it but the anonymity helps here. 

      I said for me I felt it was unfair but your relationship sounds more equal in communication but I struggle with communication. I thought it was because I was male but I also have ASD which may be the real reason. 

      She he did used to say she thought I was allergic to her so maybe some truth in that re: anxiety not allergy. I have never had those thoughts but she was and still is very attractive and a people person so maybe I was just in awe of her.

      Aryt I am not convinced. Did you read Philippa's comments the other day. She is very knowledgeable so I would urge you to re-read her comments on anxiety v sickness.
