Unexplained Nausea in 20 year old, what do I do?

Hey Jared!

I was exactly the same, going to the gym before I got sick regularly and really fit but since I started feeling nauseous 4-5 months ago I haven’t been as consistent because I can’t, I feel sick and have no energy and as a result have put on a few kgs. I haven’t been to a gastroenterologist yet but have had blood tests, stool tests, helicobacter pylori test done, x days and ultrasounds and everything is fine! It is quite frustrating and I want an answer because I can’t continue on like this. 

Thanks 

Have you been tested for H pyroli and parasites? I would recommend testing for those if possible. Maybe getting a colonoscopy too, some bowel disorders can cause nausea. My boyfriend's IBS used to make him super nauseous. 

Hi me too facing the same problem since April ,., nausea while eating and after eating I lossed weight and appetite my endoscopy showed antral gastritis.,., what did your report show

If your stomach is emptying slower than it should, this suggests gastroparesis which can cause nausea.  The stomach emptying test you had, is used to diagnose this condition. Reglan is used to treat it.  Was gastroparesis mentioned when you gad your stomach emptying test? 

Hi, its not unusual to suffer in this way if you are anxious; i suffer from depression, stress and anxiety and sometimes it does have an effect on my stomach; just not as often these days. I have been in counselling for a while now and among the issues i had was feeling sick, but for me it was like a foreboding of something to happen, i'd then start to overthink it and end up being sick, at both ends!

I say it could be an idea to ask for counselling that is CBT oriented, It may not cure it but it could help you develop coping strategies to help you deal with it in future. Its worth a try; i dont let things worry me anywhere near as bad now, i have developed a way to look at it differently and this helps me to relax when i start to get the symptoms.

Other than that i say keep going with the doctor and ask to be referred to a specialist at the hospital, dont be scared to ask people questions, and dont be scared of seeking other answers. Your priority is YOU so you should do what you think that helps you, even if its a second opinion. The secret is in finding a specialist to help you and learning to trust his judgement; he wouldnt be a doctor if he didnt know what he was talking about. If you have to; try noting down your symptoms and take the note with you to appointments; i lose count on the number of times i went to a doctor and forget to say about something, so putting it in black and white is a good idea.

Sorry i cant help more, but i hope you get this sorted soon, regards, markh75

Hi jared1234

Working out hard can put a strain on yr adrenals and in turn the adrenals release high levels of cortisol which can cause gastro and digestion problems...
