feeling ill every morning

[parasam]

I am a 20 year old male and I have been getting nausea every morning for the last couple of months. I also feel dizzy and faint and it has been severely affecting my uni work as i struggle to make lectures most mornings. however by about lunch time i feel a lot better and i am generally fine all afternoon. i went to the doctor and got tested for h.pylori but it came back negative and he then gave me a proton pump inhibitor as he thinks it is overproduction of acid. the ppi is not working and i am still feeling sick every morning and if anything it is getting worse. is there anything else i can do???

Hi. Sorry to hear about your symptoms. Acid from hyperacidity, nausea may also be caused by anemia, low blood pressure and low blood sugar. Take your medicine as prescribe if your symptoms fail to improve go back to your doctor. The doctor will recommend some tests depending on the diagnosis being considered.
