What Causes Stomach Upset, Nausea, Lightheadedness, Dizziness And Headache?
my son is 21 years old. he has been experiencing upset stomach, nausea, light headed, and headaches on and off for the past month. he ll feel unwell for a couple of days and feel okay for the next 3 days and then the cycle will start all over again. he s been watching what he eats and doesn t eat a full meal in fear he will vomit and get dizzy. since he s not eating a lot, he doesn t have a lot of energy. he s not feeling well enough that he has missed classes. could you please give me some insight what could be causing these symptoms?

Hi,
I have read your question very carefully. I would like to suggest some tests:
1. Complete blood tests
2. Head CT
3. Stool test
4. Endoscopy
5. Whole abdomen USG
I would like to ask:
1. Is there burning sensation after meal or fullness after meal?
2. Where exactly the headache occurs and when?
3. Is he under any medication?
4. Do you think your son is mentally stressed?
Meanwhile, I would like him to start this medications:
1. Metoclopramide orally 30 minutes before each meal and at bedtime for 2 to 8 weeks.
2. Eat light, non-spicy, nutritious diet.
3. Avoid intolerant food
4. No alcohol, smoking, caffeine
5. Can use balm for headache
6. If too much headache, Paracetamol
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
