What Does Nausea And Vomiting With Sleep Disorder After Removal Of Wisdom Tooth Mean?

I just had my wisdom teeth removed a little over a week ago and ever since the surgery I can't nap. Every time I fall asleep during the day I will wake up nauseous and have vomited on occasion, but this doesn't happen in the mornings. Could this be something with lack of sleep? I am also worried this could be early signs of pregnancy

Hello,
I would not expect you to have these symptoms over a week after the extractions. Are you taking medications with possible side effects? Many pain killer narcotics can be associated with digestive upset. Antibiotics are known to upset the digestive tract and can affect the balance of normal bacteria. You should follow up with your dentist to make sure healing is progessing well and that any medications you are taking are not causing problems. Delayed healing could have an infection present and need presription medication to treat. If you have inflammation present your throat could feel swollen and cause a gagging reflex.
Make sure you practice good dental home care. Continue to rinse with warm salt water. Try some medication to soothe your stomach. Avoid acid foods and drinks. Stay hydrated. Try to stay slightly elevated rather than flat on your back.
If you have any concerns of pregnancy, visit your physician. Take a home pregnancy test. You benefit from knowing as soon as possible especially if you require any medications. If you do not have dental complications, your physician can look into other causes such as acid reflux (GERD).
Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you start to feel better soon.
