Based on the history you have shared, it can side effects of neurotransmitters induction but should be discussed with primary neurologist and work up for metabolic derangements and endocrine profile may be needed as well. LDH and CPK may be needed for any underlying muscles issues. Since endoscopies are normal, central causes of nausea may be ruled out. Treatment with metachlorpramide etc., may be helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
