What Causes Nausea After Eating In An Elderly Person?

Hello, I would just like to know the early symptoms of an ulcer. Lately I start to eat and suddenly feel nauseous. I m 71 yrs old and two months ago I had total knee replacement surgery. I m taken a lot of pain pills. A couple days ago I stopped them and just take Excedrin. Also, I have recently been bothered with sinus and have been taking pills for that. I have lots of family problems and I m afraid I may have an ulcer. Thanks, Mary

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nausea after eating in an elderly person which seems to due to gastrointestinal disturbances. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance and acute gastritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. You should take plenty of fluids. You need to reduce the quantity of food taken per meal. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. If you will feel severe symptoms of vomiting you should go to hospital and get antiemetic injection and intrvenous fluids after proper consultation. Avoid sharp, spicy and oily food and drink warm water with one spoon honey .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
