I have really bad chronic nausea, and i am near sure its physical, not psychological. Any specialists out there?

phone N.H.S. direct 0845 4647 for advice. There is a nasty gastric virus going around ~ my daughter had it last week.

How many month`s? Less than 9?
Assuming your female with the name, have you taken a pregnancy test?
Some people can be pregnant for quite a while without any symptoms, might be worth taking a test, just to rule it out!

hiya claire,
i have had something similar, but the nausea is teamed with an acid sensation in my stomach.
ive been to doctors a few times and they dont seem to take it seriously. the last time i went i was told i may be depressed and that this was an effect of depression...i was prescribed anti depressants...which i am NOT taking.
hope you find out whats wrong, but like me insist on going back untill you are happy with their diagnosis.

A lot of nausea that is of physical cause is brought on by excess acid, which can be the result of a hiatus hernia, an ulcer or a selection of other stomach problems.

I think you need to go to your GP and talk about it, and both take advice and request a referral to investigate your symptoms.

Your symptoms are far too general for anyone to diagnose your ailment from description alone. You need a proper examination and possibly a Helicobacter pylori test (to exclude ulcers caused by infection) at the very least.

thanks medusa.
i have to say im not usually too forthcoming with going to doctors but because the symptoms persist i have been a few times regarding this problem. i have an appointment to go back on wednesday so i will see what is said then.

Could be food intollerances like me. I suffered chronic pain in my stomach and back along with severe nausea, indigestion, bloating and generally feeling rubbish. All tests proved negative. I paid for tollerance tests and I have no problems now unless I eat the worng kind of food.

Most common ones are wheat, eggs, dairy, sugar, yeast.

Maybe worth giving it a try?
