I had something very similar to this .Did the PPI and have gerd , still do. I was nauseated all od the time. Nothing showed up on ct scan.I think it was the ultra sound that finally did the trick. Found out it was my gallbladder. They said it was dieaseaded . Had it removed and I have not been nauseated since.
@darweshalassi - I had a few months of constant nausea at one point- I understand how miserable you must be. I finally saw GI at Mayo again. The thought was that it was caused by GERD. At the visit I also got Rx for Zofran for nausea. It worked very well and I would take it in the morning before getting out of bed. It wasn’t long before I could do without it.
Another thought- antidepressants helped you- SSRI ( serotonin reuptake inhibitor) I assume since that is most common nowadays. Our GI tract also likes serotonin- who knows how the antidepressant helped you. However, I suggest you also ask your doctor if you can try Zofran.
My mom is now 84 and has been experiencing chronic nausea for 6 yrs that use to be seasonal in Alabama (Feb - Oct), but now year round. She has recently started taking Imipromene to reduce the sensitivity of the gut which takes several weeks to start working, but about the time it seemed to be working she had a bad UTI and of course a round of antibiotics. Her nausea during the UTI and antibiotics was high level and around the clock coupled with anxiety and lack of sleep. She is taking Nexium and now Phenergen (vs Reglan which stopped working after 2 months). Her gut seems more sensitive so we are trying to give her foods with probiotics and prebiotics to build the healthy bacteria again. Phenergan is helping her sleep at night better, but unstable due to dizziness. We are not sure what to do and her gastroenterologist seems puzzled. We are also going to try the ReliefBand and praying that works for her! Any suggestions of a great doctor in Alabama or near?

Hello @darweshalassi, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It must be so stressful to have these symptoms, but no diagnosis!
I'd like to invite into this discussion more members who’ve talked about digestive issues, and who can perhaps speak to psychological issues and whether they have had any physical manifestations such as the chronic nausea you are experiencing.
Please meet @peabody88 @legallyred @jacque6977 @jlfisher56 @bobbiejean @melaniewa @lighthouseceliac @jeffreysgirl13 @astaingegerdm @pamshil58.
I’d also encourage you to go through some of these discussions on Connect:

From what you’ve shared, @darweshalassi, it seems the antidepressant worked; have you considered going back to the psychiatrist?
