In the last two days he's had several episodes where he gets nausiated and gets a little clammy after the nausia goes away. He also says it seems like it happens in conjuction with or right after he has feelings of XXXXXXX vue. He does not suffer from any mental disorders, and is completely consious when it happens.

Brief Answer:
Probably seizures.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Upset stomach and deja-vu without loss of consciousness are characteristic symptoms of temporal lobe seizures.

So, in my opinion, it is necessary to consult with a Neurologist and to get evaluated further by imaging studies (brain MRI) and EEG, in order to confirm or exclude this possibility.

If this possibility (seizures) excluded after appropriate tests, gastroesophageal conditions ( such acid reflux, stomach ulcer ) should be considered as possible causes of nausea.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
