What Causes Persistent Nausea?

I am having nausea several times a day but not enough to vomit. I came close a time or two but didn t actually vomit. It comes and goes but usually last for an hour or two, sometimes a little longer than that. This has been going on for several days. It is not due to pregnancy, I am 49 years old.

Hi
Thanks for the query to health care magic.
If I were your treating doctor for this case of nausea for several time , I would come up with these measures , these are :
1 Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with the blocks.It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for two hours before you lie down.
Since such nausea is usually due to hyper acidity or gastritis so one should avoid alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or chocolates or sweets or spicy food.
Also take some antacid ( better if it contains oxetacaine i.e. local anesthetic ) .
2 Next reason of such nausea may be due to anxiety , so take care this about also.
3 Stress may be the another reason of such nausea .
In my opinion take some proton pump inhibitos like pantoprazole 40 mg + domperidone ( combination pack).
Only one tablet whenever require .
Still no relief then consult a primary care physician and get his opinion.
Hope this will be useful for you.
Further any question I will reply happily.
Good luck.
