Vomiting, Continuous Nausea, After Taking Morphine Post Miscarriage, Normal Test Results, Temporary Relief With Anti-nausea Medicine. Reason?
I have a friend who had a miscarriage 3 1/2 years ago and she was in such pain after that they kept her in the hospital on morphine for 2 days after. Ever since then she vomits every morning, if she is woken up during the night and is often nauseous all day long. She went to a gastroenterologist for a year and they did all kinds of tests but didn t find anything. Recently her nausea and vomiting have gotten so bad that she is missing work and the anti-nausea medicine only works a little and only for maybe an hour instead of four. She has made another appointment with her doctor and I was wondering if there might be any medical conditions that might be more unusual that they haven t thought to check her for. Thank you for your time.

Hi
Nausea can be related to conditions of the brain or any of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.Nausea and vomiting are not considered diseases on their own but are symptoms of another condition.
Some of the causes would be:(1) side effect of medication (2) motion sickness- usually may have additional symptoms such as vertigo or dizziness (3) gallbladder disease (4) brain tumor (5) gastroparesis-delayed gastric emptying due to partial paralysis of the stomach resulting in food remaining in the stomach and vomiting (6) colonic or stomach cancer
I hope this helps and that she feels better soon
