Low level nausea for several months & nothing helps. Ideas?

Sounds like some of the effects I’m having too. As soon as I wake up my stomach feels like it’s inflamed and it feels jittery, slight nausea and lightheadedness. These symptoms last all day and up to around 9:00pm when they subside. This had all started about three years ago after going through chemotherapy for breast cancer . The first chemo treatment I got c-diff and was put on antibiotics. Only had two chemo treatments before getting mastectomy. I went to GI doctor and was put on Nortriptyline. Doesn’t help the symptoms during the day. What does haldol do and I’m wondering if it could help my symptoms.

I also have a history of A-Fib diagnosed at the same time as breast cancer. Haven’t had an episode of A-Fib for about year.

I would guess, ( I am not a doctor!) but it sounds to me like you have excess stomach acid. I have it from taking pain pills. My doctor gave me a prescription for something like Prilosec. I take the pill first thing in the morning and get relief all day. I take tums at night. Common side effects of Nortriptyline include nausea. I'd bring this up to your doctor.

Haldol is usually a anti psychic medication and also used common to use when people are at end of life for pain and nausea management.
Some GI specialists uses haldol for constant abdominal pain and constant nausea.
It's usually a low dose because it can have long lasting side effects at high doses.
Haldol has helped my abdominal pain and lowered my nausea to where it's manageable. I am able to eat without feeling nauseated.
