Walking = Nausea

[victoriagail 0]

I am a little over three weeks post-op at this time. Almost everything is healing perfectly fine. No more pain or congestion. However, I have noticed that I get extremely nauseous after walking for any period of time (besides short trips around the house). I do not experience any light-headedness or dizziness, just the nausea. Have any of y'all experienced the same thing this far out from surgery? Is it normal? Thank you all in advance for your responses.

I’m experiencing a ton of nausea myself and would like to know the cause!

4 Weeks post-op. Nausea after taking my medication. I carry around essential oil bottles of ginger or peppermint. Take some deep snorts straight from bottle and it eases the nausea. Used it prior to surgery for same reason and always helped then to. Buy at health food store.

The peppermint oil is a great idea! When I was in the hospital after surgery, the nurse would gave me a cotton ball with peppermint to sniff for nausea. It helped and I didn't have to take the nausea meds very much at all.

Peppermint herbal tea helps too

I tried the tea too....but when that nauseous difficult to add anything to my sleeve. Brought it up instead. So I stick with oils and I can sniff them anywhere.

And remember lavender is relaxing, I like tea tree oil also.

If it is the activity making you nauseated, no it does not seem normal to me.

Just my opinion but I have never become nauseous from walking.

I mix my own essential oils as a hobby! I'll have to try peppermint and/or ginger. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for the opinion. Do you have any idea what may be causing it? Or should I consult with my doctor? I've seen one other post on here about nausea with increased activity (four weeks post-op).

Maybe middle ear Fluid, affects balance, not too far a stretch to nausea also. You're speaking to someone still on Zofran t.I.d. 8am, 4 pm 10om. Keeps Precious Pouch somewhat subdued. I am still fighting stricture/ ulceration wars, praying for a Good EGJ on January 25th. See my surgeon later today, still on monthly visits at 4 mo 10 days, so special I stink! And I wish I wasn't!😪😭💦

Make sure you are well hydrated, but yes I would seek help from a physician.

If you are only nauseated with activity, it seems strange to me.
