Hello Ragu,

Is the nausea associated with vomiting and does it increases after having food?

Any black colored stools?

Is there any ear infection or fever?

What type of blockage did the doctor tell like a stricture or something?

Do you have regular motions?

Please let me know.

i sometimes force myself to vomit.. hoping to feel better and food doesn't necessarily make a difference either way, sometimes i just don't have much of an appetite! i have been having alot of dizzy spells and get light-headed.. especially when i lay down on my right side.. i am going to have a CT on friday for that. as for the blockage i am not sure! no fever as of yet!

Hello Ragu,

Well this could be an ulcer disease , as chronic ulcer disease would present like this as there could be stricture or obstruction due to long standing ulcers.The nausea could be because of that.

The obstruction which your doctor mentioned could have got worse causing the new onset nausea as the distended bowels can give nausea easily.

The other reason you would be getting light headed is due to self vomiting and less intake of food.Vomiting could result in loss of lot of salts from our body leading to dizziness.

Other reason for this new onset nausea could be cancer in the stomach, which again can be due to long standing ulcers.

I think you need to have a thorough check up.May be gastroscopy and a colonoscopy could be repeated again with stool test for blood.

I hope this helps you.

Regards,
