What Causes Dizziness And Nausea While Sitting And Standing?
I ve been dizzy when sitting up or standing up and I ve felt like throwing up all day. Been having a little abdominal pain as well on my left side like cramps. I just passed my ovulation day and cramp a little during that time but nothing like I am now. Could it possibly be pregnancy? It s only been a week but I still had these symptoms with my first that early as well.

Hello,
I would like to give you some tests:
1. Pregnancy Kit Test (Home-based)
2. Complete Blood Tests
It may be due to pregnancy but its too early to say. You should do these tests and after 3-4 weeks, you can do Abdominal USG.
If pain increases for you, you can take dicycloverine hydrochloride 10 mg. If needed 3 times in a day can be taken.
If there is too much nausea, you can take Ondansetron 8 mg orally (twice a day maximum).
Follow the general guidelines for controlling nausea. Eat small meals every few hours so your stomach won't feel full.
Try to avoid bothersome odors such as perfume, smoke or certain cooking smells.
If you have had nausea for weeks to months, consider keeping a food diary to help identify foods that cause nausea.
Avoid eating any food that smells or appears spoiled or has not been refrigerated properly.
If you are prone to motion sickness, avoid reading in a moving vehicle. Also, try to sit in the part of the vehicle with the least movement (near the wings of an airplane or in the center of a boat).
Ask your doctor about taking anti-nausea drugs before traveling. Avoid alcohol.
Please post the test results here in HCM. We have skilled doctors here who can give the next course of advice to you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
