Vagus nerve causing constant nausea?

Thank you for the reply. I believe I’ve found my cause and a solution. I honestly believe this is all due to my severe gastritis and esophagitis from destroying my stomach with NSAIDS. Taking Nexium twice a day, quitting drinking alcohol and changing my diet to a bland diet, along with other lifestyle changes is going to be my best bet for treatment and recovery.

I found a group of people on Reddit that are, or have all experienced what I have been going through to a “T.” All of them that have been through this say it’s not going to change until I change my diet and get on Nexium twice a day for about 6 months. I’m doing all that now and have been since my awful flareup around 8 days ago…but 2nd flareup within a month.

I believe I’ve irritated my entire stomach lining and esophagus to the point nerves from my brain (vagus nerve maybe) that are connected to or control stomach muscles were part of the irritation too. As my stomach pain and nausea get better so do the issues with my head…fuzziness, dizziness, inability to track with my eyes. Every day gets a little better as it seems the Nexium and bland foods are working to NOT irritate my stomach. Let’s pray that’s it! I just hate doctors around couldn’t tell me that and I had to find out on Reddit…while being thankful at the same time that I found out on Reddit😉

Your expectations that medicine has all the answers is incorrect, we don’t. I’m a retired nurse and still dabble in healthcare and you’re not alone. The human body is a very complicated system that we discover new things everyday about it. You should be very pleased with yourself for doing the research and hopefully obtaining the right diagnosis and treatment. I presume your doctor(s) are in agreement? You were on a PPI for a reason so has that reason gone away or has it funneled to somewhere else? Btw literature on Nexium shows nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea occur in 1-10% of patients taking it.

I got an ulcer from nsaids - cannot take them anymore. Ever.
Nexium helped.
