What Causes Constant Nausea While Having Diabetes And COPD?
My 84 year old father has Type 2 diabetes and COPD. He hasn t eaten since Wednesday due to nausea. Went to the ER yesterday, they did a CT and an enema and sent him home. CT results were inconclusive Still won t eat or drink and is still very nauseous. What would be a good thing to try and get him to eat?

Hi,
For nausea problem, the antiemetic drug can be prescribed. If he is in stress or anxiety than it should be evaluated and treated accordingly. If no specific cause evident and antiemetic doesn't help than endoscopy can be planned for further work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
