why do i constantly feel nausea?

Hi everyone, 

I was feeling nauseous almost constantly, kind of like a motion sickness feeling so I went to my doctor and she figured it out for me. She said that i had Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and she told me to do the Epley maneuver in order to treat it. I read up on BPPV and it says that the main symptom is vertigo, which i didn't have, but the manuver for it still worked really well and my nausea went away. Try looking the maneuver up on youtube, it really helped me! Hope it works for you too.

I've had the exact same symptoms for about 3 weeks now. I noticed it when I started taking antibiotics for tonsillitis and I thought I was just having a reaction to the antibiotics and they were making me feel sick. I called my doctor to see if they could help but they just advised me to continue with them, so naturally I thought that after the course had finished the nausea would go away but I guess I was wrong. So yesterday I thought enough was enough, this wasn't going to go away on it's own as it seemed and I was fed up missing college because I couldn't use the bus (It made it a million times worse and I was so worried I was going to throw up on someone). So I went to the doctors and my gp told me that it was most likely excess acid left behind from being ill, he said it was incredibly common and the symptoms could take months to disappear. He gave me some capsule tablets (incedibly easy to swallow) which suppress the acid which has managed to stop the food pipe and stomach from being water tight (it allows some food to go back into the food pipe, thus making you feel nauseous) and some antisickness tablets. So far they've been good, I still feel sick from time to time but in just a day I feel a million times better! I'd definitely recommend visiting the doctors as there's nothing worse that constantly feeling sick and it takes over your life! I've noticed as a lot of the people replying have previously been on antibiotics it could be the same thing that I'm experiencing! I hope this helps! :D 

Hi, I am 16, and I have recently been getting this same type of thing. And it was all of a sudden. I used to love eating food. I'd come home from school and stuff my face but now I feel lost because I just can't do that anymore. I've been skipping out on dinner lately and I can't seem to eat as much. My parents think that it's my anxiety but I'm not so sure. I feel sometimes nausous after eating and I'm not sure if maybe it's because I'm not eating enough or if I'm eating too little or maybe even if I have some sort of condition. I wanted to come here before asking my mom to bring me to the doctors. FYI this also all started when I saw some kid get sick on the bus... So I feel like this is all in my mind but I'm not sure. I've never been this bad and I've always had a love for food. ANY help would be great at this time, please and thank you.

I dont force feed myself. I am 13 and I haven't felt well since the start of january when I accidentally drank milk and orange juice but I wasnt sick because I wouldn't allow myself to. But ever since then I feel sick alot of the time esspecially when I eat. It is hard to get to sleep and I sometimes I get dizzy. I sadly can't find anything about this exept pregnant things (I'm pretty sure that I'm not! ) so if anyone can find something pleeaase help us

Hey, I found this too! Could be an intolerance (or many). Mine's lactose. I used to eat cereal every morning, so every morning I'd wake up fine, then progressively get worse after breakfast. You'd be surprised how many things contain milk... Even bread sometimes! Biscuits, gravy, everything. It's been hard but over the last few years I've gradually cut milk out completely and now I'm much much better! Soya makes me feel dodgy too though, so I try to use rice milk. Seems a lot more expensive, but if you drop to Tesco Value corn flakes (really nice these days actually) at the same time the cost more or less evens out

Ooooh if it gets better when you take glasses off get a new optician. Could be you have double vision caused by bad prescription from another optician, or badly made glasses, or natural causes. That will be an expensive pair of glasses though, so look after them!

Its amazing to see all of these other posts of people who have the same exact thing happening to them. Ive had this same problem for over a year now. Ive gone to stomach doctors, endocrine doctors for hormonal issues, got my vision checked, ears and vertigo issues checked and still they find nothing wrong with me. It started last January 2013 with a stomach bug and then a course of antibiotics for an infection i had after that I experienced chronic nausea, occasional stomach pain in the upper abdomen, dizziness cold sweats and heart racing tension headaches when the nausea occurs ( but doesnt always happen with the nausea). The nausea is usually the worst early in the morning from 1:00-4 am for some weird reason but comes about all throughout the day. Eating food can be hard because sometimes as soon as i put the food in my mouth i instantly feel sick. I also have had a fear of getting sick since I was a child. I would like to think its just anxiety but doesnt it seem a bit weird that most of the people on this thread had this develop right after a virus or a round of antibiotics? Ive come to the point where i dont know what else to do, i feel doomed to feel like this for the rest of my life. Ive screwed up jobs and college and even relationships due to this because im sick all the time and cant commit to anything anymore. I can barely make it through the day. It is nice to know that there are others out there with the same problems I just wish someone found the answer to the problem. I dont know how much longer I can deal feeling like this!
