I am on my fourth day of bad nausea that comes and goes. I have gone to the bathroom numerous times to gag, wretch,but nothing comes. I have gas and mild feelings of diarrhea. A persistent pain in my back on the left side. Now, the strange part is that when I lay down the nausea goes away.

I go my regular doctor and she is out for the day so I see her partner. I tell his nurse all of the above. He comes in and says rather snotty you were just here Friday. I wish I would of said, yeah and your point is. But instead I said yes for a regular routine checkup. He then says well how long have you had these symtoms, 2-3 days? I said 4. He says well I can't diagnose you on just 4 days of these symtoms. And I can't explain why it goes away when you lay down. I am not going to run any tests or scans because you have felt nausea for 4 days. So he sent me home with Nexium.

I think what bothers me the most about all this is how he made me feel. I did not want to go to the doctor but have hated missing work and felt I needed to do something to find out what it was. I do not go to the doctor often at all. I have taken off work 2 full day and two days early. I cannot continue to do that.

Have any of you ever had some of these symtoms?

i had such symptoms 7 months ago..and it would go away when i lay down....bad nausea... like motion sickness... i was diagnosed with vertigo..go back and tell that dr a piece of ur mind.... nexium is for heart burn and acid reflux... oh that makes me mad you were treated that way... mine was brought on my a sinus infection..detected by tests... hmmm i'd demand my money back if you paid anything.... he could have at least given you a prescription for the nausea....gl to you

I told his partner the Friday that I went that I was having dizzy spells every time I layed down. You mentioned that. I am a big chicken about confronting him or asking for my money back but he sure did make me feel foolish for coming.

oh the dizziness was the worst....you need to get ur inner ear or ur sinuses checked....i didnt even have a sniffle!!! it lasted 3 days ..well on the 3rd day i went to the dr... so the meds he gave me made me feel better right away! one was a cortizone shot..... really check into it....vertigo doesnt just go away:huytsao and find a new dr!

Thanks, I will do that. I think finding a good doc is very hard!!

you know, i didn't think about that suesue, but i had about 3 weeks of vertigo and it was a sinus infection too (my last little cold). each person is different, but mine did make me naseous. not as bad as you are, but naseous still.

I had vertigo so bad I couldn't walk or stand with my eyes closed. I fell in the shower shampooing my hair, and fell getting out of bed. It can be dangerous. Go back to that assh*** and tell him you need to be looked at for vertigo, and take a written complaint with you to be filed. Poor thing. I hope you feel better soon.
