Question : I am very nauseous and have been on and off puking for the last like two weeks followed with an actual stomach ache sometimes. I have also been getting headaches but these are not always with my nausea and I have been tired. Another thing I have noticed is the smell and/or thought of most foods also make me feel or sometimes actually cause me to throw up and every single time I eat no matter what it is I feel nauseous. Other than that I haven't had any fever or chills or any other sickness symptoms. I am not pregnant I have been taking birth control pills for over a year now. What the heck could be wrong with me?

Brief Answer:
Needs to be examined

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

I have gone carefully through the details provided and am considering a few possibilities.
It could be that you have a gastrointestinal infection which is persisting for a while. It could also be due to some problem of the gall bladder or pancreas. It could also be a manifestation of more serious conditions like intestinal obstruction. To be able to pinpoint the exact cause, you need to be examined by a doctor. Some investigations like abdominal ultrasound and some blood tests might also be required. I would strongly insist that you visit a doctor without ignoring the symptoms. Some simple medicines or interventions might be able to provide relief.

Hope that helps.
