Low level nausea for several months & nothing helps. Ideas?

Posted by mikejjb123 @mikejjb123, Mar 30 12:43pm

I used to have a period when I would have nausea for several days or so if not weeks but it would go away for a time. Now I have low level nausea that remains constant and has not gone away for at least 2 months. Doesn't matter what I eat or don't. Raise my head when sleep or not. Any ideas what to do? Thanks.

I also have a history of A-Fib diagnosed at the same time as breast cancer. Haven’t had an episode of A-Fib for about year.

Thanks. I think it is some of the foods I eat. What is Haldol? I never took it. Be good.

I would guess, ( I am not a doctor!) but it sounds to me like you have excess stomach acid. I have it from taking pain pills. My doctor gave me a prescription for something like Prilosec. I take the pill first thing in the morning and get relief all day. I take tums at night. Common side effects of Nortriptyline include nausea. I'd bring this up to your doctor.

sounds like excess stomach acid. Try Prilosec or Tums and see if it makes a difference!

Haldol is used to treat schizophrenia...!

Haldol is usually a anti psychic medication and also used common to use when people are at end of life for pain and nausea management.
Some GI specialists uses haldol for constant abdominal pain and constant nausea.
It's usually a low dose because it can have long lasting side effects at high doses.
Haldol has helped my abdominal pain and lowered my nausea to where it's manageable. I am able to eat without feeling nauseated.

Thank you: I’ll remember to ask about it at my next visit. This nagging sensation just seems to be getting worse in the past three weeks. Use to be manageable. I’ve seen just about everyone of my doctors except an ENT and naturopathic, which I’ll be seeing both next week. Grasping at straws now it seems.

Same story here! Good luck.

I was having this issue and it seems to have been related to an increased level of vitamin D3. When I dropped back to 1000 it stopped.
