Nauseous feeling throughout the day

Hi :) I hope everyone is having a Happy Holidays.

I usually post in the Ostomies section but I've been having these symptoms which I have no idea what they are so I thought I'd post here.

I was diagnosed with gastroenteritis this past Sunday at an ER since I had been throwing up and going diarrhea, but it finally calmed down since 2 days ago. So all that is gone, but I don't know what it is I am just always nauseous now and it gets really bad especially at night towards midnight whether I be awake or asleep.

Last night, I was up at 12:30 am on my PC doing some work when I couldn't even just sit there and type anymore. It was such a nauseous feeling accompanied with I don't know of you'd call it pain but such an uncomfortable feeling right around or below my chest. I'm not sure if it's the stomach or liver even.

I thought it may be a temporary thing but it's been ongoing that I'm getting a bit scared but am embarrassed to see the doctor since I've gone in without an appt three times already since November.

Another thing is, I get excessive saliva in my mouth only when I lay down to sleep at night and I have a sour taste in my mouth (the sour taste is always there whether I brush my teeth or not). I do have a cavity that needs to be fixed and something else so I don't know if that's what it's from.

Any idea what this may be?

Hi,

Viral things can linger - you may need something on top of your usual meds to help see it off. Is it possible you've absorbed less medication during your GI upset too?

I get nausea if my symptoms relapse - eating frequently helps and I have to eat things like dry crackers or crisps. You could try adding in Gaviscon or an evening dose of acid suppression like some Zantac to see if that helps. It probably is temporary - our sensitive stomachs don't bounce back like other folk!
