What Treatment To Be Taken For Nausea And Bruises?
my 39 yr old wife has been feeling quite fatigued with nausea and bruises very easily for the past 6 months or so. She saw a gen practice doctor in the summer and her blood work looked normal. BTW she has been on a vegan diet for one year now if that means anything. Wondering what type of specialist she should see.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, she is on vegan diet since one year, but 25%of the population may be only vegans, but it should contain proteins, vitamins, fats from oils, etc and it should be a balanced diet.
The reason for the weakness, nausea, and frequent bruising, may be the anemia, gastric irritation,allergy to some thing, or some chronic disease like tuberculosis.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms omeprazole, domperidone, multivitamins,protein supplements, and hematinics till the diagnosis is established.
Let her take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to have a early recovery, and to have good resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
