Constant nausea, morning sickness feeling, allergies, post nasal drip



Recommended Posts

I've been having this constant almost all day nausea. Whenever I try to eat, I feel like I'm going to vomit, no matter what I eat. I also get this feeling with Fluid intake. Sometimes I feel like I'd be better if I just threw up but can't make myself throw up - I try, but nothing comes up.

I have been dealing with some major allergies and have been rather congested over the past few weeks.

I only recently put the two together... Post nasal drip and nausea. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is that a reasonable excuse for all the constant nausea and gross feeling in my tummy? I recently moved to a new state and haven't found a Bariatric clinic yet to follow up with. I'm sure I could email my surgeon back home but I can't get back in to be physically evaluated if they need me to.

For the allergies I have been taking either Claritin or Zyrtec and using Flonase nasal spray. With the more extreme flares, I've even added Benadryl to the regimen. I have an appt scheduled for Sept 14th with an allergist to restart allergy injections. I'm hoping that helps as well.

I was mistaking a lot of allergy symptoms with GERD, have you been checked out for that? When I started taking acid reducing medication and catering my diet around it, my nausea and mucus issues went away almost completely! GERD gives your mucus and if you already have allergy issues (which I do and take Claritin) the combination is horrible. Try taking some OTC Omeprazole with your allergy meds and see a difference; it could very well be that.

The problem with both allergy medz (antihistamine) AND acid reducing medz is that they both reduce yr bodies natural mucus secretion

Incsse of allergies especially respiratory ones, dry throat means more trigger for coughs.

That was my ordeal when I had both together on high doses of acid reduction medz

Ask your surgeon for Zofran. It's for nausea and works wonders. Good luck!

I was given Prilosec right after surgery for acid reflux. I do have it and it sucks lbvs. I was told about it being a side effect of the surgery when I met with my surgeon for my initial consultation.

That being said, I haven't been taking my meds everyday like I'm supposed to. I'll get back on track with it and see of that helps. I'll be seeing the allergist next week to get started with allergy shots again. Hopefully I can get this all under control real soon.

It sounds like you are on the right track regarding the allergy component. There is another med instead of Zofran. It is Anzamet but it is on backorder (no generic yet). For me, it is less sedating than 4mg or 8mg Zofran. I still am suffering from stomach issues 3 years out, but it is getting better I guess. Since Flonase is not systemic, it is less drying to your nasal passages so I would make sure you take that. I hope you feel better!

Hi Jen the nausea could possibly be due to problems with your gall bladder also, please do seek medical advice. 3 months after WLS i experienced extreme nausea where i was rushed to hospital. A few days later i was on the operating table having my gall bladder taken out!

Wish you all the best xox

I have more allergies than I can shake a stick at. This is what I do.

1. Take Zyrtec EVERYDAY before bed. Find out which antihistamine works best and stick with that. I tried Allegra for a bit and it wasn't strong enough. Claritin make me sleepy and if I fight it I feel drunk and nauseous. I only use Benedryl if I am having a reaction (hives or anaphylaxis) as it also makes me sleepy.

2. Do not take Vitamins until you have eaten food whether it is a Protein shake or more substantial foods.

3. Use the nasal spray after food as well. I only use mine during really high pollen times. I have the Zyrtec app on my phone and check it daily, but my body usually tells me. I cannot use it daily because it dries my nasal passages too much and I end up with a headache as a result.

4. Make sure you are using a PPI if you need it. I found I needed it most from month 3 - 6, but it wouldn't hurt to try it for a week or 2 to see if it makes a difference.

5. Make sure you are getting in plenty or water/fluids. I find my symptoms can get worse if I get dehydrated.

I am with you on the nausea. I am on Zofran and my surgeon just called me in finegrin (sp?). They make me sleepy, but without them I can't get in my liquids. Even the smell of foods make me feel sickly.

I hope you can find something that will help you oiut.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
