Medical Mystery

I have been sick for almost 3 months now.  I have had naseau but no vomitting.  I haven't had diareaha or constipation, however sometimes when I eat I feel I need to go to the bathroom right then.  My upper abdomen constantly feels like there is pressure in it, almost like I have to burp, but burping does nothing.  I have indigestion for hours after eating.  I have had a CT scan, an ultra sound, and numerous blood tests done and all came back normal.  I was put on Nexium, which helped, but the symptoms are definitely still there.   The Nexium has not helped the indigestion at all or the naseau for that matter. I am at my wits end because they really don't know what is going on with me. Any suggestions about what it could be or what else I could have my doctors test/look for?

Hello, My husband is having almost all of these same symptoms and I feel like I'm in an episode of Mystery Diagnosis. He has had nausea on and off for about three years now and for the past month it had become debilitating, he can't work and is taking Zofran which is not working. No diarrhea, no constipation, no vomiting but his nausea gets worse when he eats, he is 5'11 and 145 pounds, he can't afford to lose weight. Let me know what you find out and I hope you feel better:)

I also forgot that I have back pain also.  It isn't shooting pains or anything, but more of an ache. My appetite hasn't been much either, which I attributed to the naseau.  They thought I had gallballder problems, but all my tests checked out fine.
