Any MD? Persistent nausea, since 12pm - not pregnant (51)

I am in good health, take no medications and eat a very balanced diet (almost no sugar, mainly plant based etc.)

I do have a sensitive stomach, sometimes (usually when stressed) have periods of gas/lower abdominal discomfort (was told could be a form of IBS) I did experience nausea in the past, but usually was linked to a bit of acid and in particular would at most last an hour or two.

I have not eaten anything "weird" (dinner last night was pasta with a fresh tomato sauce I prepared) and this morning I had a scrambled egg w toast and some cheese (DH had same food and no reaction) but a couple of hours after breakfast this nausea started and it is still there... I tend to worry and would like to just calm down. Can anyone here offer feedback? I hope it is just a sporadic episode and really hope to feel better in the morning. Not even sure if I should eat anything tonight...

Had a piece of toasted bagel earlier and also some mint tea. Did not help.

Thanks for any reassuring words. Will try to email or call my doctor in the morning.

did you try anything to quell the nausea? Some gingerale? If you haven't had the urge to throw up, just try eating a fruit - orange or something similar tonight. Hopefully you will be fine tomorrow after sleeping on it :)

Thank you for your advice. I tried drinking some mint tea and ginger tea earlier today, although it did not help much. Had some chicken broth for dinner and going to sleep now. Hope to be fine tomorrow too... thanks again.

ER MD. My first thought would be a virus.

thank you. I hope it's not a virus... I did not have the urge to throw up.

It is late now and I started to feel a little better only a couple of hrs ago. I had some chicken broth with a bit of rice and tried to drink a lot of water. Also trying to go to sleep in a few minutes.

I sometimes have weird reactions to eggs and dh is just fine. definitely processed eggs, but recently had a (so far one-time) reaction to a store-bought egg. I would say it's that and that you'll feel better tomorrow.

thank you, you may be right. Although I used organic eggs and the same I have used for a couple of mornings now... who knows. I hope all will be better tomorrow.
