View Full Version : Why am I always so nauseous?

I am sure I am NOT pregnant! I have been taking HPT every 1-2 weeks for the past 4 months. I took the last hpt I think 3 days ago and it was negative. I haven't been on birth control for over a year. Also I don't have any periods on my own and do have small cysts, so I'm almost certain pregnancy isn't the cause. My gyno didn't diagnose me yet with pcos, but she did say she saw a few little cysts that were within normal levels?

Anyway, for the past couple of months I have felt pretty much constant nausea, day and night and in-between, but its worst in the mornings. Its very high up, right at the bottom of my ribs in the middle, like I've been punched in the stomach. I start feeling it almost immediately after waking up. My mouth even gets all watery as if I could throw up at any moment. I usually have terrible wretching/gagging when I brush my teeth in the morning as well. It comes and goes all day long, but is least bothersome at night.

The best way for me to describe it is a less painful version of how I felt in the hours before I went to the hospital with gallstones last year. (I had my gallbladder removed last January, and haven't been the same since, in terms of digestion/IBS, but that's another story in itself lol!)

So here I am again, laying in bed trying to go back to sleep after my Hubby just left for work, but I can't sleep because of the nausea.

Any ideas?

Note: when I said I had my gallbladder removed LAST January, I meant 2008, not this year. Its been 14 months since it was removed. Sorry about that.

Possibility of acid reflux... especially since you have had digestive issues. Might be something to ask your doctor about.

I was thinking acid reflux as well. Also the possibility of pancreatitis.

Come to think of it I have been waking up during the night with heartburn once in a while. I love spicy food and eat it frequently (all my life, not just recently) so I am used to occasional heartburn so I didn't think anything of that. Guess maybe I need to ask my doc for something like prilosec or something?
