Nausea for two months! Please help
Posted , 7 users are following.
I've been nauseous for two months now. It started out of no where. I initially was having very bad headaches and those soon faded and immediately after I began feeling this horrible nauseous feeling. I feel it constantly everyday. Some days it goes away and I feel like myself again but it quickly comes back. My nausea is accompanied by a closed throat feeling and an off balance dizzy feeling. Ive never actually vomitted since either. I become very shaky when the nausea comes. I don't know if my body shaking has to do with me just being scared I'm going to throw up but that's the least of my worries. I've done blood work, cat scans, urine samples everything checks off clear. I finally saw a gi specialist and he wants me to try being gluten free before doing an endoscopy. It's been one week since and I've felt a tad bit better and had the biggest relief that I found the cure. Until it just came back out of no where. I just need some answers. Going back and forth to the ER. Pcp, and gi specialists with no solid answers is getting old. I've had acid medicine perscribed no help. I've had zofran to maintain the nausea no help. I've had promethazine perscribed and that helps a tad but makes me super drowsy and wears off shortly afterwards so also not a solution. I can't sleep. I don't have an appetite and I'm not myself anymore because it's taking over my life. Please if anyone has any answers or help let me know!

Unfortunately i've been having similar symptoms since january, so I know how bad it sucks to feel like this. No vomiting, but bad nausea every day and shaking, occasional dizziness, zofran not helping, etc. I tried changing my diet, got a CT scan, endoscopy, and nothing has really hinted towards anything specific. However, my Gi seems to think that it could be an intestinal motility issue, so that may be the case for you too. I've been taking miralax daily to help keep things regular and it hasn't made me feel too much better, but it is good to know i'm having regular bowel movements which could become a problem. So my tip to you would be to try miralax, and if you wanna try a stronger laxitive do magnesium citrate, or even just regular magnesium suppliments, even if you think you're having normal bowel movements.
Also, I'm not sure if you'd be willing to try this, but i'm going to see if acupuncture helps. At this point I'm desperate lol. Either way, hope this helps some bit. Best of luck

It feels a tad bit better knowing someone knows how I feel. Thanks for all your suggestions. I truly hope me and you both find the solution. I've tried everything and just can't seem to get over this hump.

months now. Same symptoms as you. Each time a dr suggests a new test
It gives you hope and anxiety at the same time.

I foundd tat drinking tea with fresh ginger in it helps a lot with the nausea..You chop up about a tablespoon of it and brew it along with an herbal tea. Leave the ginger in the cup (it stays on the bottom) and sip it til done. I add lemon and maybe some honey. This is also a great antioxident. When we are so nauseus and cannot eat well - or take a handful of vitamins on an empty stomach the ginger at least has some good value as well as helping with the nausea.

Mine emptied too fast. I decided to have my gb removed even though there was no concrete evidence to show this was causing my symptoms.

pippa,
I havent' heard that. Tried to learn of the pitfalls before the surgery. Fortunatly, my symptoms are the same as before and not at all like IBS, although not as bad. Hope that remains.
Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for responding...Yes, I used the gallbladder diet for a few weeks after the surgery and gradually began eating my normal diet. Luckily, my digestion is back to where it was before the surgery. So I am greatly relieved that I didn't add a new problem onto my initial one.
Overall the surgery seemed to have helped with my nausea and bloating symptoms which I suffered with for 18 months. But now, after a month post surgery the same symptoms are creeping back . They are not as bad as before the surgery though. Next to try will be elimination diet.
My dr felt that it was either my gallbladder or non ulcer/functional dyspepsia. I took the gamble on the gallbladder.
From what I've learned about non ulcer dyspepsia is that the symptoms are so very erratic, random. Supposedly not related to a food problem.
But, I think I will try an elimination diet this summer for my own peace of mind.
I am just so grateful that the gb surgery didn't cause me a whole new set of issues! Was so hoping it would fix my nausea and bloating.

I decided to have the surgery as a last resort. I do feel much better. The symptoms I am having now are the same ones I had before the surgery. I am happy to say that removing my gb has not produced new or worse symptoms. I am just not positive it was the whole cause of my nausea and bloating to begin with, although, overall, I do feel so much better than pre surgery.
