Sudden nausia

[kitcat49]

Cll and et, on hydroxyurea for high platelets(Et)... Every once in a while I get sudden nausia, only lasts maybe 5 mins. I try to stay hydrated but wondered if with my uber dry skin,torso and legs almost covered with petechae and sporadic heart palpitations if my dry skin being a rather large organ might be causing all this...Cat

Hi Cat,

Does the onset of nausea follow any particular activity? I'm mildly anaemic due to my CLL and experience the onset of nausea after vigorous exercise (usually from cycling up a hill), which can last up to 30 minutes if I don't stop and rest. Staying hydrated also helps me.

I suggest you ask your doctor about this; it might be totally unrelated to your CLL - perhaps a side effect of some medication, such as the high platelet medication.

Thanks Neil. I will get sick if I over-do but this just seems to be out of the blue of late. Who knows !

A had a number of nausea tsunamis just prior to treatment, and they all happened in a line-up to a cashier... often the food store or pharmacy.

Not sure what triggered it... might have been the exorbitant prices... I don't know... 💰

Certainly not fun...

Thank you for reply, I need to pay more attention to when they happen.
