Does anyone know why dry heaving can help with nausea.

I have read the general, non liver specific, reasons why it helps., but I wonder what, specific to liver illness, symptoms causes nausea that dry heaving relieves? Any thoughts. Thanks.

Hi,I don't have an answer, but am experiencing this symptom and also find dry heaving helps to alleviate the nausea.

After a bowel resection surgery 2 years ago, I developed portal vein thrombosis. I was on Eloquis for about 9 months.

Now I am getting some symptoms that leads me to believe the thrombosis is hurting my liver: occasional nausea and clay colored stools.

I have had dried heaving but not been sick not for a long time now which I’m pleased about cause I hate being sick, I think its your body saying you might be sick, but your not, I sip water for sip ginger tea to help take the feeling away, cause it’s not a nice feeling, sorry not much help

Hope it goes away soon, take care

Thanks Orangutan :)

Oddly it has gone today so, maybe not related. So easy to attribute everything to a poorly liver. x
