Question 1

what is the cause of nerve pain on left side of head and down left side of body with nausea ?

Accepted Answer

Thalamic pain: can produce pain on one side of the body (including the head).  The clinical course may help with sorting out what is going on. Is this jolts of pain, progressive episodes of pain and are there any other symptoms besides nausea?
Does change in body position relative to gravity affect the pain ? You need to have this worked up.

Question 2

i've been on gabapentin at an increasing dosage for 2yrs. at 3200mg/day for nerve pain. stopped cold turkey.  would this cause nausea? other affects?

Accepted Answer

YES!!: Always taper off a medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms. 3200mg is a significant dose and a reduction would have avoided these issues.

Question 3

fell last week on stairs, hit shoulder/back. mostly nerve pain. don't think i hit my head, but freq nausea, spaciness & front right headache since?

Accepted Answer

Concussion: Sounds like possible concussion, even if you don't think you hit your head.  Get evaluated by your doctor to make sure everything else checks out on your exam.

Question 4

been taking gabapentin 300 mg twice daily for nerve pain for 6 days. feeling mild dizziness, unsteady, nausea and just an off feeling. would it be ok to stop it?

Accepted Answer

: Since you are a relatively low dose, would anticipate more side  effects if titrated upwards.  Would let your doctor know of the adverse effects.  Alternative medications for "nerve pain" are available and perhaps better tolerated.  Yes, you can stop  but  would taper under your doctor's  supervision.

Question 5

having nausea last 2 weeks i have nerve pain all over my body. random headaches. and feel like there's pressure inside my head. is it a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The nerve pain described is very non specific.  Headaches can be associated with nausea and a pressure sensation inside your head.  This could be a simple variation of your migraines, a viral illness, or even associated with a reaction to stress.  A brain tumor will usually give more focal neurological signs and symptoms.  However,  see a doctor, given the duration of symptoms.

Go to the ER: You need to call your doctor asap or go to the ER. It sounds like you need a more thorough history and physical exam to determine what is wrong but these could potentially very serious symptoms.
