question: I wake up at least once a week early in the morning throwing up/nausea which is a very queasy feeling along with hot flashes. I visit my primary care physician regularly. I have anemia and low hemoglobin, as well as athletic induced asthma besides this nausea those are the only problems I have ever been diagnosed with besides depression. The causes are unknown of both. Also I am not over weight, and I am a Caucasian white female in my teens if that matters. I have high amounts of stomach acid. I take an antacid twice a day but I still wake up sick. I often feel bloated, even when I haven t eaten anything and it is usually followed by a cramping pain in my abdomen. My regurgitation frequencies fluctuate, it started two years ago and was awful but last year I had no noticeable problems or nausea and now this year it is back. It is hard to go about my day when I start it off sick. I have an appointment with a GI next month. He will be performing a EGD to try to figure out what s going on inside of me. I d like to have a general idea of what to expect. Do you have any thoughts of what could be causing this?
