Nausea at night time

[citrusoap]

Hello,
My boyfriend's been experiencing heavy nausea during night time.  This nausea is generally situated around the small intestine area, almost right underneath the lungs. It happens every few months, usually goes away on its own.  The nausea starts when he gets comfortable or remains still.  Eating helps reduce the feeling but it often returns soon after.  Other symptoms are dizzy spells or feeling light headed.  He also loses sleep because the nausea wakes him up soon after drifting off.  However, the nausea never causes him to vomit.
Can someone give us a heads up about what this may be?  Our GP has only offered advice to change dietary habits, and this has not helped improve the condition.  Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms and found relief?
Thanks in advance

I have been going through the same thing since 11/07.  I have had at least 15 test including have my gallbladder out in 1/08.  I am on medicine for acid and nausea (protonix and reglan) and the started me on Paxil.  I am very anxious about getting sick it comes and goes and I never know when it is going to happen.  I wake up in the middle of the night and feel so sick and it last about 24-48 hours.  I have been in the ER 6 times, and have seen my PCP 3 GI doctors and ENT and a Neurologist and everything is normal.  In the month of June I was only sick 3 days so I am hoping this is going away.  I also took 6 weeks off from work.  I eat a low fat diet and I do have regular food sometimes and I do get dizzy spells.  I can not help you out but I do have the same symptoms.
