I am nauseous every day. I am not pregnant. Why is this happening?

Question

I also have lower back left back pain. Doctors say they can't determine anything specific. I don't know what to look for and I'm beginning to think they think I'm crazy. Menopause?

i am 44. i am definitely NOT pregnant (had my tubes tied 16 years ago).

i have ovarian cysts but they tell me that's "not it". i feel as if i'm getting the run around.

Answer 1

I experienced the same thing. I had tiny gallstones blocking the duct and they couldn't get out. I had to have something called an ERCP done and they were able to suck the small stones that I had out. I wound up having to have my gallbladder removed.

I went to the ER when mine got really bad and they ran ultrasounds, x-rays and I had a CT scan as well.


You may also want to start keeping a food journal. There may be certain foods that are triggering it.
Take care and good luck!

Answer 2

Hey there. Don't worry this sort of thing happens to some women and more often than not if you are younger than your 40's it is NOT menopause.

Now it could be a UTI or beginings of a kidney infection. If it's not that then it could be PID or something to do with the timing of sexual intercourse during your menstrual cycle or uterus all together. It could be that you are ovulating or that a fibroid is growing there that is benign. You may have simply pulled your muscle lifting something heavy or even balancing something heavy. There are a million reasons for lower back pain.

First things first go see your gyno/ob person and tell the doc what is happening. If that one can't find out then go to a urologist to detrmine if its's your urinary tract or kidney. No dice there then go to a chiropractor for back problems. Get sonograms/ultrasounds and x-rays done by all these medical professionals to make sure the diagnosis is accurate. If there is a medical problem a specialist will find the cause and help cure it.

If all else fails see a psychiatrist. There is no shame is speaking with a shrink. For all you know it could be stress induced pain. Talking out your problems could help get to the bottom of things.

Hope I helped you out a little. Best of luck to you!

Please don't think your crazy! i went through a horrible year last year because I was so sick and the Dr's couldn't find out what was wrong , I don't want to get into ALL the details but I had every test done from MRI's to Spinal Taps. Anyway I got so depressed, being sick for a year takes a toll and in the end i found out , I had probably started out with Viral Meningitis and then developed Irritable bowel syndrome which lead to depression. So My advice to you would be to see Specialists, and get some answers before your emotional state makes things worse. See a Gastroenterology Dr. for your nausea or if you don't have good insurance at least go to a different Dr and get a second opinion. Something else to think about, After all I went through I found that the women Dr's take you more seriously and are better listeners and more compassionate. This may not be true everywhere but in my experience , it was true! I really Hope you feel better!

Answer 4

I was nauseous just about every day all day long from the time I found out I was pregnant (5 weeks) til about 11 weeks. I never actually got sick but I felt like I was going to, and it was real hard going to work and hiding it.

Answer 5

okay, here are some possibilities...

ulcer
infection
endometriosis
UTI (urinary tract infection)
food allergy
dehydration


Find a doctor willing to sort this out with you...yes, lots of doctors will tend to discount a woman's complaints. If you were a man they would be more likely to take your problems seriously...so find a lady doctor or nurse practitioner.

I don't think you are crazy. Yes, menopause can mimic some of your symptoms but it's not the most likely cause. Don't let your doctor minimize your problem. You're the one paying them, remember. I personally have found that a skilled nurse practitioner will do a more thorough assessment and listen better than most doctors.

Wishing you well,

Answer 6

I discovered that a Chiropractor fixed all kinds of things on my body when I'd gone in there for a stiff neck, including nausea.

A lot of people don't realize that your spine affects every aspect of your body. Just be sure to get a referral for one, since like with every practice out there... some are quacks.

Answer 7

It could be cysts on left ovary, it could be kidney infection. There are lots of it could be...................... I am having the same thing but, on the right side. My doc has pushed on ovary, and that is area, but, I've been seen so far. We are still trying to determine what it is.. I'm pushing to find it out.. Don't like being sick.

Answer 8

If you still have a gallbladder, it could be gall stones (I know the gallbladder is on the right, but you could be having referred pain into your left flank). Have some labwork done (I think a liver function panel) and a complete abdominal ultrasound/sonogram (it's the same thing)

Answer 9

have an MRI and that way they can see whats going on inside your body and brain. ive been like that before and not knowing what is going on. And finaly doctors told me that i have vertigo ...go to a neurologist make sure your not pregnant ok?... take care and hope you feel better soon.

Answer 10

How old are you? Where is the pain located? Does your urine have a foul smell? Does it hurt in your kidney area? I would have that checked into. The nausea may be from an infection.
