Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic,
Feeling nauseous or fullness in stomach could be related to dyspepsia, constipation or acute gastritis but it needs further evaluation by clinical examination and various tests to have confirmed diagnosis.
If your symptoms are not so troublesome then I can suggest you some medications and dietary precautions to get relieved from this symptoms.
1) Proton pump inhibitors (continue with Prevacid as prescribed)
2) Antiemetics like ondasetron 8 mg twice daily.
3) Syrup digene 2 TSF three times a day
4) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods rather take bland diet or liquid diet for initial few days
5) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time rather take small and frequent meals.
6) Walk slowly after every meal but do not walk fast. Avoid taking rest immediately after meal.
7) Take stool softener or laxatives like syrup cremaffin plus 3TSF at a bed time.
All the medications are available over the counter which you can ask to your nearby pharmacy.
I expect you to get better within 3 to 5 days but if your problem persists then I will advice you to see gastro physician who can order various tests (below mentioned) and can come to a particular diagnosis and start the treatment.
1) routine blood investigations,
2) liver function tests,
3) urine and stool examination for R/M and ova
4) ultrasound of abdomen
5) upper GI scopy (if required)
Hope this will help you to get better and if any query then you can ask me.
Regards,
Dr.SandipKabra
