Can Hemorrhagic Stroke Be The Reason For Nausea And Vomiting?

my dad had a hemorraghic stroke (right side) about 4m onths ago and was sent to a skilled nursing home to begin rehab- about 6 weeks later he developed chronic nausea and vomiting. He has been hospitalized numerous times and all tests came back normal. HIs most recent visit the GI specialists determined he had gallstones and he had his gallbladder removed- however he still has the nausea and vomiting. He has been given many medications from raglin (sp?) to phenergan without much success- they only make him sleep. Could this be a result of the stroke? WHat can we do- his doctors have given up and so has dad.

Hello,

Extreme nausea, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea headache can be due to a form of gastroenteritis that gives such symptoms. Raised blood pressure may be the body's reaction to the whole episode. Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
-Re-consult your doctor for clinical evaluation and examination.
-Insist on the investigations of stool, blood, and urine; ultrasonography of abdomen.
-Any other relevant investigations.
-All these will help to get a proper diagnosis, and if a bacterial infection is found to cause these then a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole can help you to get a proper cure.
-Also needed are a cardiac evaluation, and relevant investigations to rule out any cardiac issues that have caused raised blood pressure since gastroenteritis of any sort actually reduce the blood pressure and does not cause hike.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
