Several years ago he was diagnosed as having Dyspepsia Dysfunction. About 15% people have this and nausea esp. with eating is a symptom of this. He again had tests and found that his GB showed 20 to 30 % function by a hyta test. So he had this taken out. At the same time he was put on Elavil 50 mg to take one a night due to he was not sleeping post op weaning off narcotics after having a Total Knee replacement. His PCP ordered the Elavil to assist with sleeping. He was to participate in a GI study with a Specialist GI MD who treats dyspepsia dysfunction. But my husband called them and stated that his nausea symptoms were better since taking the Elavil. The office of this GI specialist stated that the study included giving the subjects either a placebo, an antidepressant or Elavil. They apparently did not need to see him since that time he felt better.
My question where is the NAUSEA coming from. Is it the PVC's or the Stomach dyspepsia dysfunction. He has no history of any other stomach issues or heart disease. I am going to get him some Peptol Bismol OTC but I am at loss.
I think if he sees the GI MD may be a good idea also. His PCP will call him with results of his tests along the way but does not need to see him for 6 weeks. Should he see a cardiologist he saw one who suggested the Atenolol and then did not need to see him as PCP would take over RX. He takes Prostate medication for his age and that is it. Please advise.

Thank you very much will take your advice. I also gave him pepto bismol and tums as a back up. Ompersole we will also try if needed. His PCP also suggesting seeing GI spec. Will be setting this in motion.
He needs evaluation.

Hello!
After going through the medical details provided by you of your husband situation I understand your concern for his health.
I would like to tell you that taking into consideration his age and present history of increased PVC's along with constant sensation of nausea it's advisable that you should take him to an ER and get him evaluated.
See PVC usually causes sensation of chest discomfort or heart sinking like feeling but some patients can perceive it as nausea also.
As he was diagnosed with dyspepsia earlier so that could also be the cause. So these things has to be evaluated properly.
He will be requiring both cardiac as well as GI evaluation.
I hope this information will guide you properly. Let me know if I can assist you further.
