Question 1

can a person get long-term nausea from a leg amputation?

Accepted Answer

From meds?: It is not common or likely to get nausea from a leg amputation itself. It is more likely to get nausea as a side effect from medications being taken.

Question 2

nausea at 16 weeks. how much longer?

Accepted Answer

Not much, hopefully.: Although most pregnancy nausea resolves by the second trimester, a few unlucky women have persistent symptoms until postpartum. I hope you feel better soon! try ginger snacks, small, frequent meals instead of large formal meals and remain hydrated at all costs. See your doctor to see if Metoclopramide (reglan) and/or proton pump inhibitors are a good idea for you (esp. If you have acid reflux).

Question 3

can krill oil cause nausea at 1,000mg, how longer after stopping taking does it subside?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a few hours: Virtually any pill can cause nausea. While nausea is not a common side effect of krill oil it is definitely possible. It is less likely if you take it with food. I would expect any nausea related to it to go away within a few hours at the most.

Question 4

could someone get prescription anti-nausea pills for long term use?

Accepted Answer

Chronic nausea: Some patients do require long term chronic nausea medication. However, a better approach is to work with your doctor or a gastroenterologist to determine the cause of the nausea and treat the underlying condition. Most patients with chronic nausea have a treatable cause. Good luck.

Question 5

i had a headache for 3 days and mild nausea but no longer have any of these symptoms. do i still need to be tested for covid-19?

Accepted Answer

Yes, get tested: It is important that exactly people like you get tested, so that we can learn of people with just  "minor symptoms " like yours may actually have a mild case of Covid19.  It also let's you know whether you need to keep a full quarantine.  You are absolutely correct that it may be nothing, but combine the fact you were exposed with mild symptoms-that equals get tested!

Question 6

upper abdoman pain, light headed, nausea... was vomiting at first but no longer... what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Gall bladder, ulcer?: Depends on location, duration.
Could be gallbladder attack (right upper quadrant/midline pain, often goes to back), pancreatitis (midline, often going to back), inflammation of stomach/duodenum/ulcer (midline, left upper quadrant), less likely kidney, colon, referred pain from gyn, or appendix.
Call your doc.  Fever, jaundice (yellow eyes/skin, dark urine, light stool, ongoing? -er.

Question 7

long term dizziness (2 months). diangosis with vestibular disorder but now feeling acute nausea, vertigo, floating, hypoglycemic symptoms and facial spams?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: Definitely sounds vestibular.  You might have just developed Meniere's disease of the inner ear with acute 'attacks.'  More likely with ringing and hearing loss in one ear, but not necessarily.  Or it may just be 'benign positional vertigo' on top of the general dizziness you've been having.  See ENT for hearing test and balance testing, then treat accordingly.

Question 8

what're the effects of long term zofran (ondansetron) use for treating chronic nausea caused by anxiety? been taking abt 3, 4mg pills per week for 1.5 years already

Accepted Answer

For one thing...: It doesn't treat the anxiety, just covers one of the symptoms. Consider cutting the problem off at the source: get some good therapy for the anxiety. Then you won't need the zofran (ondansetron).

Question 9

i have a fear of vomit, and i am anxious right now because i am nauseous, is my anxiety causing my nausea to last longer than a day?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety can cause : Nausea or prolong it, but so can many other things.  Feeling nauseous and having a fear of vomit can create a self-perpetuating cycle.  If you're having nausea & don't know why, start by checking with a physician.

Question 10

my prilosec is no longer working and it's always worked.could i be pregnant? also been experiencing nausea and exhaustion which is not common for me.

Accepted Answer

Could be: Pregnancy is one condition that starts or worsens reflux, which is what I assume you are treating.  It should be simple to check for pregnancy!
Gastritis or stomach ulcer(s), other reasons to take Prilosec, also cause nausea.
Time to see the doctor.
