Hello, I have been very nauseous and vomiting for 4 days. the vomiting is not constant, but anytime i eat or drink anything it comes back up. the nausea hasn t stopped. I have also had a fair amount of heartburn and diarrea. all day anytime i burp i can taste the last thing i was able to keep down last night :( I definately do not think i am pregnant. (i have the murana device and have already had a child and the symptoms aren t the same) I ll probably be going to see an MD tomorrow if things haven t improved. any suggestion would be appreciated at least to put my mind at ease. thank you for your time. -Rebecca
Hello. I am Dr. Praveen and I will be answering your question today.
It sounds a lot like acute gastritis to me with the nause, vomiting and heartburn. Diarrhoea cannot be explained in gastritis though. You should try to take some anti ulcer med like omeprazole 20 mg twice a day for now and drink enough fluids. Keep your diet light and fresh. If your loose stools persisits then you may be treated as a case of gastroenteritis in which case antibiotics may be prescribed. For now anti ulcer meds will do and if the cause of gastroenteritis is indeed viral will settle in a day.
Wishing you good health. Please feel free to drop in any more queries if need be. Take care. Warm regards, Dr Praveen Jeyapathy
