know any causes of Chronic Nausea?
I'm really really seeking any type of insight into unusual or rare causes of chronic nausea. I am a 27yo female and have had chronic moderate-severe nausea daily for going on 10 months with no known cause. I have ruled out pregnancy and GERD, and know that it is not from anxiety (I am a MH professional). It is seriously debilitating and I have seen many specialists that all have coincidentally found something but not the cause of the nausea. The other symptoms I have include headaches, palpitations/PVC's, chronic fatigue, occasional nightsweats, dizziness/chest discomfort when standing up, and just an overall sense of unwellness. In the midst of this search for answers I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's, but dont believe it's the cause for many of these symptoms as the lump in my throat feeling and fatigue have improved a little w/ Hashimotos treatment but most of the symptoms I mentioned previously have only continued to get worse. Does anyone know of any possible causes for the symptoms I have been struggling with, particularly the nausea? Or is anyone familiar with Hashimotos and has had a similar experience of having this intense persistent nausea for months?? I feel like my medial providers aren't thinking outside the box and aren't taking it as seriously as I am to consider potential causes. I feel very desperate as I can feel myself getting sicker. This will sound dramatic but since I have only continued to get sicker over the past 10 months its hard not to wonder if I have some type of serious illness thats just going untreated. Thanks in advance.

@llmartin have been on two course of Omeprozole but seemed to make no difference unfortunately. Recently had a nasel endoscopy and dr said I do have acid reflux though. Glad to hear you are feeling better now.

1 Reaction@falmouthgirl Oh my! Sometimes celiac/gluten intolerant individuals are also dairy and soy intolerant. Food for thought... Sure hope you can figure this out soon. It can be miserable.

1 Reaction@falmouthgirl Interesting that the PPI didn't work. I was on Protonix for 18 months. My nausea was probably a more severe form of reflux. A couple things I forgot to mention, I was immediately tested for H-pylori, which was negative, but an important cause. Also I had post nasal drip going into my stomach and was prescribed something like Flonase which seemed to help. I sure hope you get some answers! Kind regards.

1 Reaction@llmartin great tips and info, thank you so much. I’ll mention Protonix to my doctor -might be worth me trying a different PPI. Have also tested negative to H- pylori. Flonase and nasel drip is new to me - will investigate that for sure. Just this weekend I have started wearing wristband that sends electric pulses through to your Vagal Nerve, these are often used for travel sickness. Seems to be helping a little. Feels like this is one crazy long experiment!

2 ReactionsHello, I'm from Taiwan, and I have the same symptoms as you. I have a history of stomach problems. The nausea started in 2021, but it wasn't severe and recurred about once every six months. By 2025, the nausea became intense and frequent. For the past four months, I've felt nauseous almost every day, and I've also developed other terrible symptoms: cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, arrhythmia, and other gastrointestinal problems. I have a bad habit of drinking sugary drinks every day. Perhaps it was due to unclean food or medication causing a bacterial infection, which, if left untreated, gradually spread to my liver and kidneys, leading to chronic nausea that worsened daily. Yesterday, I took cefixime capsules(頭孢克肟膠囊), and the next day, the nausea subsided significantly. Cefixime is a prescription oral, third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by destroying the bacterial cell wall, causing cell death.! I usually take one capsule at a time, but since my symptoms were severe, I took two at a time, twice a day, with a 12-hour interval. I hope this helps you.
