What To Do To Help Extreme Nausea While On Medications For Kidney And Heart Failure?

My grandfather is sufferiing from many things including slow kidney failure and congestive heart failure. He is 87, and we have been told that within the next year he may go. He is on many medications which make him extremely nauseous. I know that smoking medical marijuana would not be good for his lungs but if he were to take the cannabis oil under his tounge instead as an anti nausea would it be safe for him?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Feeling extremely nauseous especially in elderly patients is common due to what is called as drug induced Gastritis and poor drug tolerance .

Do not have trial of any unscientific methods is highly recomonded ,
I have been trying following general measures to minimize nausea
1) Give medications along with cup of milk
2) Avoid giving high protein diet which is very difficult to digest .
3) keep him well hydrated
4) Can give small doss of antacids
5) Give mixture of Ginger powder ,sugar and pure ghee (Small 3-4 balls ) twice daily .This is time tested Ayurveda remedy and works very well in elderly patients .
