Brief Answer:
Multiple reasons

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I definitely understand to stay with nausea all throughout the day and empathize you.

However there are no simple explanations for the queries that you posted. They are complex sometimes misunderstood. However I would like to simplify the answers for all the queries posted.

You should continue your blood pressure medications even though the Blood pressure target is reached (120/80). However the doctor can minimize the dose. At this age I rarely remove anti BP medicine from the list.

Medication induced nausea is extremely common and sensitive for people who are on multiple medicines. You should take the help of another medication to off set it or try other alternatives to get off it. Ondensetron is commonly prescribed to offset it. Dexilant is known to cause diarrhoea, itching and rash. Nausea was not described. It is supposed to clear up gastritis.

Skipping medicines one day to test if the medicines actually cause nausea is a good idea. But make sure you do not skip more than one day. It would not cause major harm if all the vital parameters are within acceptable limits. Hence I suggest you to inform your doctor before you do it.

Brief Answer:
finasteride is good for enlarged prostate.

Detailed Answer:
Yes. You can better take finasteride if flomax does not work. We cannot exactly determine the effective XXXXXXX of a medicine for a given individual. So initial trial is important as is follow up. You can take it at night. I cannot guarantee The nausea subside.

Aspirin cause nausea and gastritis big time. Clopidogrel is better. Better blood thinners are available. You shud talk to a cardiologist now.

Brief Answer:
Blood thinners like Aspirin should not be stopped

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Aspirin and other blood thinners are life saving drugs. If aspirin is not suiting you I suggest you with clopidogrel. I was asking you to check with your Cardiologist about new drugs called Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors. They may be of help in your case. Please DO NOT STOP aspirin till then.

Lipitor is for cholesterol and not a right replacement for Aspirin. Fish oils cause nausea, bloating and uncomfortable burrps. You should take them with meal or at night during meal. You may avoid them if you do not wish to. Replace it with twice a week herring/salmon oil fish in the meal.

Brief Answer:
my statements were clear about nausea

Detailed Answer:
While we discuss here. You had started on two more medications. However I reckon the drugs as possible cause of nausea. While the peak effectiveness of the new medications can be compared between individuals. You can wait for two weeks before you question their need to your doctor.

Cardiac cause of nausea is not unheard of. If it not otherwise proven this should be put in the list of causes. Angina can sometimes follow nausea and vice versa.

Brief Answer:
Please find the opinion below

Detailed Answer:
Low stress hormone can possible cause nausea. How do we prove it for you unless we measure the level in the blood. I do not think of this as cause for your nausea for now.

A lot of times an online doctor will not be able to pin point the reason for nausea and a few times by your own physician initially. Hence frequent follow up is necessary with the physician.

In my opinion Tetley tea should not harm you. It is good if taken in moderation that is XXXXXXX 3 cups a day.
Ginger ale without soda is good for health. It has a lot of healing and antiinflammatory properties. I do not advise soft drinks and carbonaated ones at all.

You can try accupressure for nausea. You can find an expert in your area. At the same time there is some anxiety related to nausea. You should try to manage that as well. Bread and milk is excellent bland diet to help one against nausea. So is the smell of lime and its leaves.

Brief Answer:
Bentyl is Dicyclomine cause nausea

Detailed Answer:
If your doctor labels as IBS and prescribes it I am fine but Bentyl causes more nausea.
This is better taken before meal and before bed time.

Gatorade is good to build the electrolytes back if they seem to be problem. There is no harm taking Gatorade in moderation. Moderation needs to be defined properly may be 4 Oz a day can be taken or take it as a tonic (50ml) each time you have nausea. Please inform your doctor about Gatorade.

All the best.

Brief Answer:
Dexilant early morning and Bentyl before breakfast

Detailed Answer:
Very happy that Bentyl started working for you. It may need a month to two months for treating IBS. It controls the symptoms to maximum extent. The disease comes back if you are stressed out and have too much anxiety. Be careful because it may have small addiction potential.

Yes you can take Dexilant once before breakfast. You can t medicines before meal and with a gap of 1 hour. You can take either of them first and the second the later after one hour.

You can take Cosart before bed time.

Brief Answer:
Replace Aspirin with alternatives proposed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

By now you should have understood that there is nothing obvious on Ultrasound abdomen.

Xanax & Bentyl can be taken one hour apart. Your regular doctor can prescribe you Plavix. It is good that you found aspirin to be related to aspirin on your own.

Do not wait any more, ask your doctor to omit it and prescribe you the alternatives. As I said earlier Aspirin can be the cause but it is also life saver. So till the time you find alternative you should keep taking it.

Brief Answer:
Ginger is a good anti inflammatory agent

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Ginger is known to possess anti inflammatory properties. It helps in acute rheumatism but it is not good to depend on natural products for healing. The exclusive use of such natural therapies may interfere with the drugs that you currently take.

So use it as a herb in your cooking every day and not for plain therapy.

Brief Answer:
Fatty liver is not always serious

Detailed Answer:
Fatty liver on ultrasound is a common finding and is found in half of the people who undergo routine ultrasound. Most times it is benign and likely due to sedentary lifestyle, smoking, alcoholism, diabetes etc. Your nurse was right. Proper choice of Diet and exercise should be part of your routine. It may not be serious all the time. You need to keep a watch on it once a year. In theory fatty liver is still reversible but after 55 yrs of age it is difficult to reverse it.

Your doctor prescribed candesartan (Angiotensin receptor blocker) to treat blood presssure. It is not a bad drug. I am not sure if it is coated or not. I cannot find that information. Check if it helps you get out of nausea.

As I said earlier, fatty liver may be reversible but sometimes not. You should eat right, take prescribed medicines, no alcohol and anything that injures liver further.

You should not abuse phenergan. It has defined limits. So you have to judge what is overshooting your tolerance and then take it, otherwise you should learn other ways to tolerate nausea.

Brief Answer:
Drugs may interact it is better to spk to pcp

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Drugs can interact each other, I suggest to speak to the prescribing doctor.

I suggest my patient to start with Dexilant before breakfast, Bentyl and Zofran for every meal. Atacand and Xanax at night bed time unless anxiety bothersome you during day take xanax. Aspirin once a day after breakfast. Proscar is in the afternoon meal.

Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
No additional value

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX

I think I am not adding any value to your further queries. The questions are posted in different way though the answers were already given to you.

Dexilant before morning breakfast. You can take Bentyl post breakfast. You can also take Xanax along with Bentyl.

The link has nothing to day about the surgery you had. Can you be clear? If you have any specific question.

What Causes Persistent Nausea After A Placing Of Stents In Heart?

Brief Answer: Multiple reasons Detailed Answer: Hi, I definitely understand to stay with nausea all throughout the day and empathize you. However there are no simple explanations for the queries that you posted. They are complex sometimes misunderstood. However I would like to simplify the answers for all the queries posted. You should continue your blood pressure medications even though the Blood pressure target is reached (120/80). However the doctor can minimize the dose. At this age I rarely remove anti BP medicine from the list. Medication induced nausea is extremely common and sensitive for people who are on multiple medicines. You should take the help of another medication to off set it or try other alternatives to get off it. Ondensetron is commonly prescribed to offset it. Dexilant is known to cause diarrhoea, itching and rash. Nausea was not described. It is supposed to clear up gastritis. Skipping medicines one day to test if the medicines actually cause nausea is a good idea. But make sure you do not skip more than one day. It would not cause major harm if all the vital parameters are within acceptable limits. Hence I suggest you to inform your doctor before you do it.
