Long Covid nausea?
Hi all,
For the past three months I’ve experienced 24/7 nausea and intermittent vomiting. Zero appetite and eating has been next to impossible. I’ve lost so much weight too. However I’ve noticed that during the ovulation phase of my cycle my nausea is a lot less severe or gone completely. My pcp thinks it might be brain gut issues, and I was put on tricyclic antidepressants but that didn’t do much. Has anyone had a similar experience to this and did it go away? What treatments worked for you?

Same. Randomly I get instantly sick to my stomach, randomly vomiting sometimes after eating but, it comes and goes. I have noticers when this happens, I get instant pressure in my head and sinuses at the same time 99% of the time when I start feeling sick going on what seems like forever now

1 ReactionSince Nov-Dec 2019 with the same symptoms but more keep coming. Today, I'm miserable. I literally cried like an hour ago saying I don't know what else to do. I'm exhausted and not getting ANY help from dr.'s in the midwest because they truly don't care. Healthcare system out here horrifying or lack of
Did yours happen after a virus or was it random? Have you asked your doctor about functional dyspepsia?
I have many many LC symptoms since April 2022 but nausea and vomiting is one I have had SUCCESS dealing with. At my Drs instruction, I take a probiotic supplement every morning. It took a few weeks to settle out and be effective but now I rarely vomit and nausea is infrequent, mild or gone. I was doubtful but this was a simple fix for a big problem. Good luck all

1 ReactionHave you considered that you may have acid reflux? When acid seeps from the stomach to the esophagus, you may feel nauseous. Acid reflux doesn’t always burn. This has been my experience. I take an over the counter acid reducer like Pepcid, but you may start with an antacid like Tums. Anxiety can make your symptoms worse so you might ask yourself if you see a connection between what you experiencing and stress.
I pray you are able to find the cause. I can relate to your situation.
My endoscopy did not show acid reflux and ppis only make me worse. Maybe it could be silent reflux.
What probiotic is it? Did your dr confirm gut dysbiosis or gut-brain axis issues?
I did the align every day. It helps but flare ups still occur. Symptoms very similar to gastritis.
Yes, my Dr confirmed gut dysbiosis and axis issues via dysautonomia diagnosis. I use Kirkland brand probiotics with 30 billion active cells. Much stronger than others.
