Question 1

i take zofran (ondansetron) off for bouts of nausea but it takes too long to work, can zofran (ondansetron) for injection be prescribed or is it just for hospital use?

Accepted Answer

Prescription only...: ...But the bigger question is why you are having so much nausea.  Ask your doctor if your medications could be contributing to this problem.  Nausea is listed as a side effect of all three of your medications!

Question 2

if i crush zofran (ondansetron) pill before swallowing will it work faster? if so by how much? severe nausea comes on very quickly & zofran (ondansetron) takes too long to work.

Accepted Answer

Zofran (ondansetron) ODT: Zoran ODT(orally dissolvable tablets) dissolves quickly in saliva, doesn't require water to swallow, and thus works faster than Zofran (ondansetron) tablets.

Question 3

what can cause tingling in the face, light headedness, dizziness  and seeing spots when standing too long with nausea?

Accepted Answer

Full exam : You need a full history and exam. The differential diagnosis is large and more info is needed. You need your vital signs checked, labs drawn, and a neurological exam included in your full evaluation. These symptoms could be related to low blood pressure, anemia, or something going on in your central nervous system. See MD please.

Question 4

can recurrent bv cause lightheadedness or nausea or other gastro problems if it's been happening for too long? does pid often present wiyhout fever?

Accepted Answer

Depends: I am not sure what BV is? Could you spell it out for us? Yes pelvic inflammatory disease can present without fever. Chlamyadia is an std that can cause pid with no symptoms. That is why it is important to go see a doctor.

Question 5

why do i feel nausea from concentrating intensely?

Accepted Answer

Agree w Dr Peter: Also are you experiencing anything else.When you cancentrate do you get a headache such as a migraine,are you getting anxious,are you tensing up your muscle in your stomach,sometimes we may tense up and increase intracranial pressure.Any of these could contribute as well as not eating when you are hungry.

Question 6

is it bad to steep tea for too long? would i gain more egcg catechins if i steeped longer?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You might ingest more catechins the more tea that is actually infused into what you are drinking (is it green tea?).A 90-day study in Food Chemistry Toxicology from June 2008 studied males and females who drank green tea daily and saw that only 5% of both sexes had elevated liver enzymes by the end and neither showed cellular changes in the liver. This may need more investigation.

Question 7

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 8

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 9

i'm experiencing lightheadedness, trouble concentrating, nausea, when i stand or sit, but feel better after laying down should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: There can be many reasons for this. A common reason includes orthostatic hypotension from dehydration, in which case adequate hydration and getting up slowly and pausing for 15-30 seconds before walking may help. Another reason can be new medications. If this persists or gets worse, you should see your PCP. Further reading: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/dizzinessandvertigo.html
