Long Covid nausea?

Posted by mh19 @mh19, Apr 28 10:41pm

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?

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

Try using "Emetrol" Rapid Nausea relief 4 oz bottle over the counter. Clears up my Nausea fast. This is a long shot might help might not. Just thought it worth a mention.

It's my understanding that the COVID virus may cause damage to the autonomic nervous system including the vagus nerve which controls gastric motility.
I have been diagnosed with delayed gastric emptying aka gastroparesis which causes persistent nausea. I have been prescribed Reglan which promotes gastric motility and Zofran aka ondensatron which is a common anti-nausea drug that helps somewhat.

Thanks Zorro. Have tried it. Does work more often than not. So it can help. Seems to depend on what I've eaten.

I had a gastric emptying test and it was normal
