Persistent Nausea
I was having persistent nausea and while I know it is common post-operatively, when I went for my post-op follow-up on Monday, Kelly said it could be overactive acid production. I had reflux in the past so she said this could be from that. She was concerned because if it is the acid production there is a risk of developing an ulcer. She prescribed me a stronger prescription acid blocker. She wants to see me in 2 weeks for follow-up.
Most importantly, she said that I should have called when I first noticed that this nausea was "consistent" and "often"; and I should not have waited until my appointment to tell her. I knew it was a common thing post-operatively, which is why I didn't call. Now I wish I had.
I will fill the script today and start the stronger acid blocker and will keep you posted about if it works or not to get rid of the nausea.
