Not bad but...: The important question that you have to ask and get answered is why am I always so nauseated. That's what you have to find out. If your PCP is stumped find a good gastroenterologist and see if he is up to the challenge. I recommend to my patients a book by Jerome Groopman entitled "Your Medical Mind".
