What Causes Diarrhoea Along With Nausea And Excessive Sweating?

Posted on Fri, 27 Feb 2015

Question: I'm 39 years old. I have had on & off nauseau & stomach pain and indegestion for about 2 months now. I also wake up every morning and have diahhrea. I also have chronic back & side pain. The other morning I had severe pain & was lying on the floor sweating with severe nausea for about 30 minutes. Could this be related to my ovaries? I had ovarian cysts removed about 2 years ago. I'm also bloated. My maternal grandmother died of ovarian cancer at age 42. Thank you

Stool is pretty watery. More odor than usual. no blood. I'm usually constipated so diahhrea is not normal for me. Pain in lower abdomen. doesn't seem to be triggered by food but sometimes after eating I feel like i'm going to burst. Back pain comes & goes but when i get pains in abdomen I often feel back pain along with it. Also feel like I have to urinate even if I just did a short time ago. I take omeprazole & fluoxetine but I have been taking these meds for a while & I never had these symptoms. Another reason why I'm concerned about indigestion because I take med for that & now I'm getting it. This has been going on like I said for about 2 months now.

Brief Answer:
Most probably maldigestion

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. You most probably are suffering from maldigestion. There could be a number of causes and most common include stress/anxiety, drug induced. As you have +ve family history of cancer as well so if i were you treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

- Get an ultrasound pelvis & Urine C & E done.
- take naproxen twice a day for 5 days
- Take lots of fluids( water, juices)
- Metronidazole thrice a day for 5 days (its a prescription medicine so you need to get it from your local doctor)
- Take Zinc supplement once a day for 10 days
- Take ecobion sachets once a day
- don't lift heavy weight
- take high fiber diet including fresh fruits & legumes.
- ask some family member to massage your back with oil. it will give soothing effect.

AVOID:
> Drinks
> Spicy food
> Junk food

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
