   So SICK of being nauseous (Open to All Health Related Topics board)

23rd October 2003
Meniere's is mostly ruled out because I don't get tinnitus, ever. I've tried Meclizine for nausea and it actually made me feel really crappy and anxious. For me, Meclizine has helped only when I'm having SEVERE vertigo to the point of wanting to go to the hospital, because even though it made my heart pound, it kept me from throwing up, although it never did help with the dizziness. The last time I had severe vertigo, I tried Valium, and it worked! Valium definitely saved me last time, but I only use it for dire emergencies because of its addictive qualities. And today, I did an experiment. Smoking IS making me nauseous. Of course I know that smoking is sucking in poisons and that it's horrible for me, but I don't know why it would start affecting me like this now. I've been smoking for years and only RECENTLY is it making me nausous. Today, I held off smoking for a few hours after I woke up, and when I smoked a cigarette, I got a pressurized sensation in my ears and in my head, and I got dizzy and nauseous. That shows I have to quit of course, and I was going to anyway, but I still would love to know the reason this is happening now when it didn't for years. Thank you for your response :)

I have something called labyrithitis that causes those symptoms. What helped me the most was sniffing up saline solutions in to the sinus. Since the sinus and those tubes to your ears who's name I can't remember are connected, it tends to reduce swelling and help the trapped gook (sorry to use such technical terms, lol) in your ears clear up which reduces or eliminates the dizzyness and nausea. The meclizine (sp?) just made me feel dry and dizzy. Give it a try, it is inexpensive and makes a world of difference for me.
