My 76 year old aunt experienced an
intracerebral hemorrhage feb. 14th. By
the 4th day after the stroke, she started
to experience extreme nausea and vomiting.
Because of inflammation in the esophogas
area, the doctors inserted a stomach tube
and attempted 3 feedings. All failed.
She is nauseated 24/7. Does anyone have
any suggestions....We are desperate as she
is dwindling away.

Hi,
an ic bleed would not cause ongoing nausea
unless intracerebral pressure was elevated
- I assume this is not the case as it
would have been treated at the start.
Has she been seen by a gastroenterologist?
- I suspect she either has a separate
gasstrointestinal problem or some of her
medications are causing the problem -
either way they should be able to resolve
the problem
