Q: Constant Nausea

Hey
im not really sure how to explain this, but for the past 3months I have have suffered severe daily nausea. It all started when I picked up a sickness bug from my work (im an auxiliary nurse) since then i'v felt terrible.

My gp originally gave me domperidome, anti nausea tablets, which made no difference at all. I then had blood tests which came back normal, so my doctor said it would fade out in a week or two. Because I felt so sick in the morning I would quite often not have breakfast, so by lunch time I would feel shaky, weak, dizzy and incredibly sick. I then started fainting a lot, my gp then decided I suffer from low blood sugar and a stomach ulcer. I have started my new diet of 6 small meals a day and taking omazrepole for my stomach. This worked really well for the first 2 weeks then my nausea came back, I check my blood sugar when I feel sick and its usually fine.

However now I get a sort of dull pain in my upper abdomen just below my ribcage and in my lower abdomen (like constant period pain) I have been to my gp so many time now and i'm begining to get the feeling that he thinks im making it up.

Has anybody got any ideas or advice?? As this is started to take over my life, i'm 18 and im finding that I feel to ill to go out with my friends and I keep getting sent home from work. Everybody says that I look really pale so i'm sure i'm not imagining it.

Any advice would be super

I know a way that can help your appetite, try take vitamin b complex, u might not see the effects in first few days, but after a week, I think it will improve your appetite, and maybe your nausea problem. U can confirm with pharmacist.

I am not quite sure your lower abdomen prob.

Has ur doctor done an ultrasound? I had unexplained nausea for about 18 months when I was to get an ultrasound and they found gallstones. After having the stones removed, I was cured from thenausea for about 2 weeks. I have discovered my nausea is caused by anxiety. But ask your doc to chck that. And pains you describe sound like a gallbladder symptom.

Nausea
Try Lyrica, it worked for me, I no longer wake up nauseated as long as I take the low dose of Lyrica before bed. I don't know why it works, found out by accident when taking it for something unrelated. if I miss a dose I wake up nauseated all over again, when I take it I don't.
