Persistant nausea?


I have been nauseous for like 2 months now. I was told about a yr ago i had an ulcer and the biopsy showed it was from the H. Pylori bacteria. I was on IV antibiotics and they gave me a prescription for protonix, and everything was fine. Now for the past about 2 months, i have been constantly nauseous...not horrible, but i feel like im constantly tightening my stomach and breathing deep so i dont throw up, and i usually vomit once a day or so. I didnt have this when i was diagnosed with the ulcer, but i have read nausea is a side effect of one. What else can cause a persistant nausea? I went to my GP who did some bloodwork and came up with nothing. Any ideas? Oh, and im not pregnant...i do have cardiomyopathy though.

The nausea could be part of the cardiomyopathy. Do you also get sweaty when you are nauseated?

You might have inner ear problems, but you would also be having dizziness. If dizziness is not part of the picture, it's probably not Meniere's or other inner ear problems.

You might also have rapid gastric emptying (did you have any stomach surgery for the ulcer?) leading to inappropriate feedback trying to slow things down, or something like bacterial overgrowth or irritable bowel.

The first thing to do is to rule out an effect of the cardiomyopathy. If that is not the problem, then move on to gut-oriented testing.

seems like you sort of answered your own question...you might get motion sickness, even when you aren't actually riding in a car. i get random nausea on a daily basis, in some ways i've learned to ignore it however. try taking ginger, it's less intense then a prescription. i used to take it regularly and it worked pretty good for me.

perhaps you have vertigo - something might be amuck with your ears
