Hi.
Thanks for your query for your boyfriend.
His age is 64 years and suffered from prostate cancer, meaning must have undergone through the whole treatment.
The causes of nausea of such a long standing duration along with feeling of dizziness and vomiting can be due to various reasons:
Affection of the balancing apparatus in the inner ear or the cerebellum.
Gastritis/GERD/esophagitis
Since he is for the last 6 - 8 months he needs a proper clinical evaluation, examination and investigations like MRI of the brain and mastoid to confirm the reasons and get an appropriate treatment
