different possible causes
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different possible causes for persistent nausea.
Since it has been ongoing for 3 months, your doctor may need to consider assessment with blood tests and imaging after a general and abdominal examination.
Some of the different causes are: (1) reflux
(2) hepatitis - infection/inflammation of the liver, other infections as well
(3)cholecystitis-inflammation of the gall bladder
(4)side effect of medication
(5) high calcium levels
(6)kidney disease
(7)vertigo
(8)alcohol
(9)psychological
If you have a history of reflux then the use of reflux medication may help if used consistently.No further investigation would be needed.
If the tums helps then it is possible it is only reflux and using other more effective reflux medication may help eg nexium, protonix, prevacid, prilosec
These are better but can take up to 5 days for full effect.
If it is not reflux then:
Blood tests such as complete blood count (checks for infection), calcium , liver function tests and kidney tests (creatinine and BUN) may also be needed.
Medications such as pepto bismol or dramamine may help
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
