I am a 21 yr old female suffering from chronic nausea for 3 years now. The first 2 years, it only occurred a few times a month and so I wrote it off as stress. Then in June 2008, I began to feel nauseous constantly. I’ve never thrown up, I’m just nauseous with loss of appetite and weight secondary to the nausea (I’m 5’7’’ and I dropped down to 107 that June, when I typically weight 125). I had blood work done and an abdominal ultrasound, both of which were normal, and I tested negative for the H. Pylori bacteria. I was then given Remeron (an antidepressant and 5HT-3 antagonist) to increase my weight. The Remeron helped for a few weeks, but the nausea returned. I then started Prilosec 20mg/day. 6 months later, I’m up to 134 lbs and have zero nausea when I take both Prilosec and Remeron. But as soon as I go off one of them, the nausea returns. It’s worse in the morning and when I eat fatty foods. I’m having an upper GI in about a month to check for ulcers and “rule out something serious like cancer� according to my doctor, but I’m going crazy in the meantime wondering what’s wrong. Do you have any idea what this could be? Have you ever heard of a 21 yr old getting stomach cancer? I have none of the risk factors and no family history of stomach cancer. A friend of mine was nauseous all the time too and found out she has gastroparesis, but when I mentioned this to my doctor he said it was impossible because I never throw up, but my friend never threw up either. I’m so exhausted trying to figure out what’s wrong with my body. Any insight would be much appreciated.
