Hello,

I would need answers to a few questions
Have you lost weight
How is your appetite
What are the medications you are taking
Do you have any other medical problems
Do you smoke or consume alcohol

I would advise you to get a Complete blood count and liver function and renal function tests done.
I would consider omeprazole and Domeridone which should help with the nausea. Please consult your doctor for a prescription

Brief Answer:
Bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, Urea and creatinine

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I would advise to get Bilirubin, SGOT and SGPT and Urea and Creatinine as nausea can be present if these values are abnormal. I wouldn't worry about the dark green stools.

If the above tests are normal then I would suggest to continue Domperidone and Omeprazole for 4 weeks
