What Causes Nausea After Eating A Meal?
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?
Brief Answer:
Gerd
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
