feeling sick and being sick all the time
Everyday I wake up feeling sick and am constantly sick through out the day it's worse after I've aten I'm on anti sickness tablets and acid reflux tablets but these don't always work I wish I could get rid of it I've had most blood tests and endoscopy but these all come back clear but I was rushed into hospital a few weeks ago with an very high pulse rate 160 beats per a min also I was very low on phosphate and was put on a drip for this has anyone else been like this and have any ideas to what it could be? Thanks
Thanks for the advice I am on lamprozol for the acid and I have had the gel before I've recently had tests done and was found to be very low on phosphate and have and abnormal heart rate of 160 beats a min they put me on a drip and did an enscopy on my tummy which came back negative so did all the other tests I have recently come out of hospital but am still getting quite sick

Hi!
Commonest cause of chronic nausea/vomiting is acidity. Take omeprazole (empty stomach in morning) and antacid gel and see if it helps. Liver and kidney dysfunction is another cause. Hence kidney and liver function tests should be done. Other causes are diabetes and hypothyroidism. Electrolyte imbalance too can cause nausea/vomiting. IBS, gluten or lactose intolerance, parasites in gut too can be the cause. A stool test should be done for worms, giardiasis etc. Chronic hepatitis or chronic infection of the gall bladder are the other possibilities. Also if nothing is found then food challenge test to detect food intolerance should be done. Keep a food diary and see if there is a co-relation between what you eat and symptoms that appear. Chronic constipation, sedentary life style building up gas in the gut, inflammatory bowel disease, food rich in sulfites (molasses, dry powder, pickles, tinned shrimp, cookies, crackers, and readymade pie dough), cabbage, raddish etc also cause bloating and nausea/vomiting. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
