Question 1

can sciatica cause nausea?

Accepted Answer

Not generally: Sciatica is due to irritation of the sciatic nerve (lumbo-sacral/low back), causes pain in back with radiation to buttocks, legs, typically below the knee. Would not expect it to cause nausea. Of course, some conditions that might cause nausea could give rise to low back pain.

Question 2

i have spondolythesis on l5 s1 i turned down surgery 2 get healthy.  i've  sciatica, but have now noticed i get dizzy, nauseas & my balance isn't good?

Accepted Answer

Spondylolisthesis: Spondylo ("spine") listhesis ("slippage") is a condition that causes the vertebrae to become malaligned. The fact that you have sciatica implies that the nerves near the segment (e.g., L5 and s1 nerve roots) are being impinged and/or irritated. Typically, sciatica can be addressed with pt, meds, and injections. The other symptoms you mentioned (nausea, dizziness, etc) are likely unrelated.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Not really: The Weak, gas,bloating, nausea 99.2 temp feelings are not related.  Sounds like your may be getting sick.  If the weakness is in one leg or area then possible.  If sciatica is bothering your recommend seeing a spine specialist for the back and seeing your PCP for the other symptoms.

Question 4

Question 5

what causes night time nausea?

Accepted Answer

Lots possible here: Vomiting reflex is controlled by 2 units in brain medulla--one receives nerve impulses from GI tract, the other is a chemical receptor. Both have nerve connections to not only GI tract (pharynx, mesenteric vessels, bile ducts) but also from brain corticobulbar areas that mediate smells, sights, &amp; taste. Maybe you have gastritis, but maybe your symptoms have little to do with GI tract. Get checked.

Accepted Answer

If you are getting: too much nicotine, maybe.  Nobody really knows what the health risks of e-cigs are, because there haven't been any published studies yet.  The FDA is proposing regulations, and if they are passed, we may begin to get some real information. The propellant in these devices are oils, contain propylene glycol, flavorings, additives and preservatives, and nobody really knows what they do long-term.
