Ok,wasn't going to start a new thread as yesterday I felt fine but today the nausea is back,I've had it for almost 2 weeks,I'm 57now so I thought I'd be through most of meno symptoms,had a hysterectomy about 15 years ago but ovaries left.Can anyone tell me if they have suffered this,so far down the meno line? I can be ok one day then awful the next,I've read progesterone can still be causing issues,I've a blood test on Tuesday but I'm getting worried about it all tbh.Oh and I'm not on hrt.Thank you x

Nausea was one of my worst menopause symptoms 😕. It was horrendous and relentless. X
-
Thank you,for how long Dotty? I've had hot flushes for abou 6 years now, I kinda thought my hormones were all but done fluctuating :'(
-
I had nausea in peri for about 18 months and then it went away. I limped on for a few years not feeling right but no one could tell me what was wrong with me. Then at age of 53 the nausea came back with a vengeance and my other symptoms got worse. It was then that I realised that my problems were due to menopause. Finding the right dose of HRT stopped the nausea. X

Thank you xx

Hello Jaypoo
I came on here this evening looking for nausea and there was your new post! It has hit me in waves, along with a kind of 'ill all over' sudden exhaustion feeling, since last weekend. Half an hour or an hour later I can feel fine again but when it hits it's awful and I just want to cry - or go to sleep, as I feel so wretched. I finished a period last weekend, so am wondering if that's what kicked it off - oestrogen dropped low after surging high for the period - I had 15 months without a period, then two mini ones and then the heavier one before last weekend. Had all investigations, nothing wrong with my women's bits. I was wondering if I needed blood tests too. The horrid thing about the menopause is so many debilitating symptoms and not knowing if it's the menopause or something more serious but not wanting to have endless investigations, procedures and tests, but also not wanting to ignore something that you shouldn't be! Does your nausea come in waves?

I'm post meno pumpkin,well at 57 I should be but because of hysterectomy, I can't be sure when a final period would have been but been having the sweats for 6 years on and off,with me,one day I can be fine,ALL DAY then the next,I just don't feel right then the nausea starts OR I can be fine in the morning and it starts in the afternoon,it's been relentless for two weeks now,with you,I'd guess at hormone spikes but surely I can't have that much oestrogen and progesterone to cause me issues :'(
I'm getting a blood test tomorrow,you're right,we shouldn't just say it's meno,it SHOULD be checked out by a dr.
Do you take anything that helps for it? Peppermint tea or the likes?
-
I had every test under the sun for my nausea because my GP wouldn’t believe it was due to menopause . I had an endoscopy , 24hr urine test, cancer tests....all were clear. Once on HRT the nausea went. x

Hello jaypo
I'm so sorry that you are suffering. I had nausea at about the same time as my last period at age 54. It felt like morning sickness and lasted most of the day. Quite why I was sure it was morning sickness and therefore hormonal I don't know as I had never suffered from it during either of my pregnancies. Thankfully it just faded away and has not returned during the last ten years. I didn't take anything for it at the time but I'm guessing any anti nausea treatment is worth a try.
Take care and sending hugs.

Any improvement jaypo ............ ?
Ginger biscuits, nibbled ?
-
Thank you ladies,thing is I'm hearing you all got it early on in meno but I'm not peri anymore,I'm way down the line but maybe hormones can still fluctuate?
Feel ok today clkd,can't eat ginger biscuits (wheat) but I have bought the peppermint tea,lovely if you like drinking mouthwash ;D
-
We have fresh ginger - maybe make some tea with it, or chew a small piece? :-X
-
Hi jaypo....the nausea I had happened in peri and then again 3 years after my last period, so in post meno too. x
-

You could try Nairns stem ginger oat biscuits. They don't contain any wheat. They are low calorie and taste quite nice.
-
.... taste quite nice - custard please ? ;). I love ginger. I would love to be able to grow it but it wilts away ???
-
Oh I see dotty,thanks for clearing that up for me,it does make me less anxious when I hear so many women suffer from it,not so great for them of course :'(
Bought some yogurts today too clkd with biffybibiffyiffydiffydus in ;D
Thanks Shropshire,I'm not great with oats either and I think they have those in them,blimey,I'm going to be living on carrots shortly :o
-
Pop over then, we've some small, freshly pulled sweet carrots .......... ;-)
? bananas ? slow release energy.
-
Hi jaypo the nausea came with lack of appetite and I couldn’t eat. And my stomach was very sore. It was like morning sickness but all day and all night . Doc gave me anti sickness tablets which worked a bit. I contacted Dr Newson for help and she assured me that menopause can cause nausea. X
-
That's reassuring dotty,I've no pain but the nausea can start just out of the blue,two weeks now,although feel ok today but I'm taking stugeron,so maybe that's helping.Had bloods done today,so fingers crossed
-
I feel suddenly sick if my body lacks energy so try to eat something B4 my body needs it. 2 biscuits mid-morning after shopping. Pizza eaten.
-
The nausea is one of the worst things ever...especially if you have a lifelong fear of vomiting!
My doctor is amazing and did confirm I wasn't going round the twist, as I have not had children I couldn't say it was like morning sickness but he says the hormonal fluctuations are the same kind of thing. I have been prescribed Cyclizine for anti nausea, which is apparently what is prescribed for ladies who suffer with morning sickness.
I have also tried taking a homeopathic remedy which does help if the nausea isn't too bad, but for me it often comes along with a headache so I just need it gone and now.
Anyone going through this has my complete sympathy xx
-
...... and mine :-\
-
Thanks mogster,it's debilitating,nausea is the one thing that stops me in my tracks, I did read if you suffered morning sickness the chances are you'll suffer from meno nausea,well,I did,not sickness but feeling sick,what a great time we ladies have :-\
-
It's all poo !!
I hate it...makes you flippin miserable :'( I just wish we could all find something that works consistently....it's like trying to nail jelly to a tree xx
-
Poo indeed,just recover from one thing,then along comes another :-\
-
Hrt.....Oestrogel and Utrogestan....stopped my nausea . X
-
HRT would be a last resort for me dotty, I know it works brilliantly for so many women but 6/7 years in I'm kinda hoping I can go without it
-
It was a last resort for me, but I was so ill that I had no choice. X
-
You poor thing,so glad you're better now :)
Dare I say day 3 with no nausea,hope I've not jinxed it now :-\
-
Morning! What have you done differently in the last week? Or do you think it's a hormone surge?
-
Thanks Jaypo for your kind words . Hope you fell better soon too x
-
Nothing clkd,don't know if it was hormones,a bug or the accumulation of ADs,just hope that's it for now but I do feel the return of adrenaline surges,so maybe hormones?
Thank you Dotty and thank you for reassuring me x
-
Unlikely to be a bug! More likely hormones or hunger.
-
Definitely not hunger,I usually eat like a horse,what does that saying even mean? I don't eat grass or hay for that matter ;D
-
;D. horses graze ? and kick ? and snort ............ ???
I have a sore R side below my appendix scar - probably due to slow transit for 2 days then a rush >:( this morning.
-
Awww my horse would NEVER have kicked ,me on the other hand ;D I haven't been to the loo for a few days either,haven't been eating a lot,just couldn't when so nauseous,I'm probably waiting for us to go away tomorrow,then I'll need >:(
-
The moment I get onto the Motorway ....... I need the loo immediately :-\. and why are they SO FAR AWAY from the car park !!! >:(
Enjoy your break! Take plenty of loo paper ;-). Certainly when I have slow transit I get nauseous. Add bloating to that and I'm screwed.
-
Least we've a loo in the RV if things get desperate :o
-
You'll have to pull over though :o or the consequences could be dire :-X
-
;D one wrong turn and I'd end up in the shower ;D

Whooooopssss
