night nausea

[Purplewoman]

anyone else have nausea most nights as soon as they get to bed ? I try to sleep with lots of pillows . It’s got worse lately wondering if due to covid? Some nights I sit not daring to move feeling so sick and around 4 am actually sick

That must be so unpleasant for you and you can't be getting much sleep either. So you don't feel nausea any other time -just in the night? Could it be acid reflux do you think? Do you get a heartburny feeling too, or just nausea? It made me wonder because you say you try to sleep on lots of pillows.

Elevating the head of your bed by about 6-8 inches can help if it's reflux. Do you try any remedies for the nausea? Ginger tea can work or nibbling on a piece of fresh or crystallised ginger.

It might help if you don't eat any food for quite a few hours before you go to bed.

I used to feel weird nausea every morning ONLY when I got into the bath, and otherwise I didn't. Even changing bathwater temperature made no difference. I learned to get in, quickly scrub down, and get out asap. Then suddenly that symptom stopped and hasn't come back. I hope yours will.

Nausea can be a sign of gases building up in your system and can be related to IBS. However, actually being sick isn't a normal sign of IBS. Please discuss these symptoms with your GP since they may want to run some tests.

It does sound like an acid problem. Do you get a sore throat too. Being sick every night is not right I think you need to contact GP and get it checked out

Thanks for the reply’s the problem is I refuse any more cameras so see little point in the gp

[Sparrow58]

You might not need a camera it is still worth checking it out

[Luisa22]

Did they check you for H. Pylori in the stomach? That's not a camera thing, I think it's a breath test or stool test?

Never done breathe but had lots of stool samples when I last went nearly 4 years ago now
