jhjd Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 So, like most of you, after years of feeling bad, I'm just now in the process of being dxd w/POTS after a saga of doctor visits culminated in an echocardiogram (side note- it's always scary to hear the technician trying to find your bp say "hmm...this can't be working right.") Haven't yet gone for TTT, as I'm switching insurance and wanted to wait until I got the one that would PAY for it, but all the sympotoms seem in place. Anyways, my question is this: have any of you ever had serious severe nausea wake you up in the middle of the night to be sick? Saturday night at about 3 a.m. I was jolted out of bed and barely made it to the bathroom in time, and I haven't felt right for the last couple of days. Hadn't eaten anything unusual or drank too much that day or anything, and DH did not have similiar symptoms, so I don't think it's food-borne. Plus, it was hours after I'd eaten anything. It's not the first time this has happened- when I asked a dr. in college about it, they told me I probably had IBS but that also I shouldn't drink so much and do whatever drugs I'd done (which was frustrating because I hadn't done anything!!!)

Jacquie802 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 YES, that is one of my most problem-some (is that a word?) symptom! I usually am all hot and sweaty and feel lightheaded as well..Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Yeah, this is normal for dysautonomia.I can feel fine after lunch and hours and hours later have dinner and then...even after giong to sleep...will wake and then puke up my lunch and dinner and be so sick...then after a little tea or gaviscon tablets I'm okay again. There is no predictable pattern. Maybe the only pattern for me is; if I eat a salad alone I'm okay. When I eat a salad (or raw foods) with a sandwich or something else, there is a greater chance that meal and or the next meal, won't get digested. There are just times when my gut refuses to digest food and it is troublesome until it comes out! I did improve after my gallbladder was removed but I still deal with some nausea and non-digestion issues.I also try to eat tiny frequent meals.
