What Causes Nausea After Eating A Meal?

Posted on Fri, 18 Aug 2017

Question: Hoping you can help...every time I eat, i feel nauseated for at least an hour...sometimes the rest of the day. It doesn't matter if it is healthy, junk, light or heavy. I do have stomach issues...ulcers and on prevacid. I also have hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia. But this has only been going on for about 3 weeks. The only thing that appears to help is meclizine. Is this symptomatic of vertigo?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM

I do understand your concern

With such a presentation in my clinic, I would first rule out GERD by doing a clinical examination and to confirm it you need an endoscopy and manometry test.If confirmed you need prescription medications like [pantoprazole with baclofen]. If conservative treatment does not relieve your symptoms then you can go for surgical treatment.

You can modify your lifestyle like this:-

1)Try to reduce your weight if you are overweight

2)Try to avoid tight-fitting garments

3)Try to avoid fatty and spicy foods

4)Eat smaller meals but take frequently

5)Do not sleep immediately after eating rather wait for at least 2 hours before going to bed

6)Elevate your head of bed to at least 6 inches

Regarding the medication [meclozine] I may say it is for vertigo and vestibular disorders only.

So take treatment as per test report only

Hope that helps
