gastroenteritis
(The hollow right under your ribs, in your upper stomach) Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, fever, malaise and general aches and pains. For most people symptoms subside within 1-3 days but you're contagious much longer.

There are many causes of nausea, the most common are:
1- Anemia
2- Diabetes
3- Drugs and some kinds of vitamins
4- Gastroenteritis
5- Gastroesophageal reflux
6- Irritable bowel syndrome
7- Cholecystitis
8- Nervousness
9- Peptic ulcer disease
10- Pregnancy
You can start by doing some investigation including complete blood count and fasting and random blood sugar. If you are taking any drug routinely, you can think of stopping it for a while or look for an alternative.
Hi Dr HHH,
I'd posted a question a few months ago in regards to my daughter. She has a blood transfusion (4 units) and I was concerned about possible HIV exposure. After being told by you no worries because everything is tested thoroughly now but if I was still worried to talk to her Dr. I spoke with her Dr. about my concerns. He tested her at 3.5 weeks and it was negative. He also told me no worries he was 99.
Your persisting symptoms of pain, nausea and vomiting could indicate a viral gastroenteritis. The other causes could be jaundice if there is yellowish discoloration of skin, food poisoning if the symptoms occurred shortly after taking food, peptic ulcer disease and sometimes cholecystitis and pancreatitis. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation. In the meantime take oral fluids and OTC acetaminophen for the pain. Regards.
Hello,
Chronic nausea can be due to stomach disorders such as gastroenteritis, liver/gall bladder disease, cancer, medications, inner ear diseases like labrynthitis, ulcers/gastritis, metabolic like diabetes, hypothyroidism and adrenal diseases or neurological causes.
Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids and eat small nutritious meals at frequent intervals instead of a heavy single meal.
s Disease or one of the Irritable Bowel / Gastroenteritis conditions. Night sweats, Nausea, Abdominal Pain are also associated with these conditions.

That following day I experienced bad cramping in my stomach and more nausea, along with that I had lost my appettite, and still my headache was present. Today Im experiencing strong pressure on my temples, blurry vision, dizziness, and a strained feeling on my eyes....I feel horrible. Can someone tell me if I've had some sort of bad reaction to these pills or should I really see a doctor?
I hope you are feeling better. Yes, a stomach virus can just cause nausea without vomiting. The symptoms are listed with OR's in it and not and meaning that it can or may not cause all the symptoms. https://www.mayoclinic.
There seems to be a stomach bug going around our house. I experienced fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and very bad indigestion. Yesterday when symptoms started, I took zofran. I have emetophobia. I have since taken two more zofran and Pepto. No vomiting or diarrhea, but I did wake up with a bad headache. I haven’t eaten a lot lately. Does this mean I will be sick for a longer period of time? How will the virus shed?
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Hello, doctors.
I'm a young, sexually active gay male. From time to time I meet a man from the Internet and engage in safer sex practices like fellatio (mostly with me performing it) and mutual masturbation. I never engage in anal sex with these men, and I always, always ask about HIV status. My last test was two months ago and the result was negative. So, normally, I'm not very worried about HIV. However, I have a concern that I hope you can address.
If you are passing stools a lot and have stomach pain then in all probability you have either food poisoning or gastroenteritis. Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. Drink plenty of fluids. Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers etc. Take ORS. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Watch out for a day or two with this treatment.

My daughter is 14 months old and she has has watery diarrhea and vomitting. When she was born she was perfectly healthy, but once I had to return to work I began to give her formula and that's when she began to have these complications. She began to have watery diarrhea and vomit. I took her to the doctor and they said she had gastroenteritis, but it's been a while now and she is still the same? Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong? Thank you.
Hello! I seem to have unfortunately caught gastroenteritis. I was given Ondansentron and it helped immensely. However, I can't sleep. I'm so wired and my stomach still hurts but luckily, no side effects. Is this normal? Is it the gastroenteritis or the drug?
m waiting for the results of a stool sample and he has also took blood to check my thyroid because of the weight loss, he tells me it is normal to still have nausea for this long and has advised me to eat small and often and to avoid dairy because of lactose and to keep low fat as the gut can't digest this. I'm bloated all of the time and feel so full after eating very little.
