What Causes Severe Fatigue Along With Nausea And Backache?

I am my 85 year old mother s caregiver. She just had her physical yesterday and is in good general health. Normal weight, non-smoker, arthritis and osteoporosis. She takes Prolia, Synthroid and Merbetriq and amlodipine (as well as Vitamin D and Preservation vitamins.) BP is normal, we are waiting for her blood work back. Today she got very nauseated and had back pain. She s been complaining of fatigue and weakness lately but the nausea and back pain were sudden. She does not want to go to the doctor or eat. I made her a cup of spearmint tea for the nausea and she is alert and resting. The nausea came after a snack of light cheese and crackers. I don t think it s food poisoning or a virus as she has no other symptoms. She did not actually throw up, but retched several times. Should I monitor her for anything or call the doctor tomorrow?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Symptoms of nausea and back pain, such symptoms needs to be ruled out for biliary disease and it demands the tests like ultrasonography, CT imaging, such symptoms should not be taken as granted but it has to be ruled out for gall bladder stone and infection (Cholecystitis ) nausea and pain can be managed with Paracetamol and Domperidone

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
