rugger 5 Posted March 14, 2021 I’ve been having a really hard time lately! Nightly discomfort under right rib and upper back aches for a few months now. Of course thinking pan cancer. Had an ultrasound and some basic blood tests bilirubin and albumin levels were normal. Last couple of weeks I’ve been experiencing a lot of nausea usually morning till mid afternoon. Now I’m getting nausea all day long and into the evening. Trying to tell myself that it is anxiety... but I’m losing the argument with myself. I’ve been on Zoloft for about 18 months, can it all of a sudden be causing this issue? Any insight/support would be immensely appreciated. PLEASE!!!

Acie 3 Posted March 17, 2021 Hi rugger. I was experiencing lots of nausea during last summer and during this January. It just started suddenly and was persisting for more than one month. At first it presented mostly during second half of day, then it switched to firs half. At the moments when I was distracting to some activity I felt like nausea goes away. After I was returning back to my thoughts I felt nauseous again. I gave some bloodwork that time and everything was fine. Except for small intestine all other parts of my gastrointestinal tract was inspected one year before, no findings apart from esophagitis. Nausea ended as suddenly as it has begun. January episode lasted a lil bit longer but it seems like it is all associated with my mind and maybe diet. During some previous anxiety episodes I convinced that our minds can cause great amount of various and weird physical symptoms. I think your diet can make you feel nauseous. In any case it is worth undergoing medical examinations just in case but with great probability your nausea may be caused by anxiety. How old are you btw?

rugger 5 Posted March 18, 2021 Thanks for the response Acie. What you experienced is very similar to me . I’m 52 and have been struggling with anxiety for about 15 years. The nausea has been sporadic lately, I’m just trying to keep myself busy in an effort to try to forget about the feelings. Had a colonoscopy and gastroscope in January for other issues and all was good. Been having lower right rib pain and back pain for a few months now which makes me very anxious about pancreatic issues. I’ve had an aunt and uncle pass away in their early seventies so I know it’s in the family so I’m pretty freaked out. Haven’t lost any weight...even gained a few pounds over the last few months which helps me somewhat. Just want the aches to subside and maybe I can get back to living! Thanks again for the response! Stay safe Rugger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
