What Causes Nausea And Vomiting?
Question: Im a 79 year female and for over 6 months have nausea and vomiting first thing In am on empty stomach about every two weeks after I take my levothyroxine .5mg, or sometimes before. It used to last an hour or two but recently it lasts all morning then I feel "washed out" and sleep most of the afternoon. I'm going to go to my pcp but I wanted input first. Thank you. XXXXX
Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
I am sorry to learn about your symptoms.
There is an enormously long list of medical causes of nausea and vomiting. It requires a systematic personal evaluation.
To help you get started, a blood test for
CBC
CMP
TSH
Free T4
would be very useful. It will shed light on whether the thyroid dose is adequate or not, and if the liver/kidney/calcium/electrolytes/glucose are normal or not.
