Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been feeling extremely nauseated for a few weeks now. I have had pain in my right upper right chest area as well as the back but the pain there is lower. This pain has gone on for months and I had an abdominal ultrasound done last May which showed nothing wrong. Since Friday (four days ago) I have been constantly vomiting and yesterday I threw up blood. The only way I can keep anything in my stomach is by taking gravol at this point and I feel extremely weak. I went to a doctor this morning and he said I could have the flu but has scheduled another appointment for an abdominal ultrasound in three weeks. I feel there is something more serious going on and don t know how I can go through another three weeks feeling this way. If I have to, how can I handle the nauseau as I can t take gravol when I m trying to work as it makes me extremely tired but at the same time I m exhausted by not being able to eat anything all day?
By carefully reading your history, I would ask you to check your serum creatinine level to make sure your kidney is functioning well.
However,vomiting with blood in vomit could be a sign of underlying peptic ulcer disease.Please make sure blood come in vomit or cough.
I would urge you to take Tablet Rabez-D (Rabeprazole 20mg+domperidone 30 mg) Once daily on empty stomach. Do not have spicy food and if you smoke or drink alcohol then quit it.
If symptoms does not improve by taking this treatment then i would recommend you to undergo Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy to find out underlying pathology.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
