Hello, I gave birth 5 weeks ago and since then i have had constant nausea, loss of appetite and dizziness. What could this be ? I have seen my doctor and he said it sounded like i have an infection so i was put on antibiotics they didn't help at all. I'm had nausea during my pregnancy but nothing compared to what its like now. Please could you help. Thank you

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You are having nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness.
Here in your case these all symptoms are related to each other and may be due to
1 Hyper acidity due to indigestion or overeating after delivery .
Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy .
The raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks.
It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before you lie down.
Also avoid spicy , oily , fatty food .
Antacid may help , but if symptoms are severe then you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors .
2 anemia may be the another reason as this is very common after deliver , can be confirmed by blood examination for hemoglobin level.
Appetizer will boost appetite so take it .
Good luck. Dr. HET
