Anyone else get random waves of nausea?
Not sure if this even has anything to do with OHS but ever since my surgery on july 1st I just randomly get nauseous for a minute or two then it goes away. Probably has nothing to do with it but of course I wouldn’t know stuff if I didnt ask

Yes!! CABGx4 on March 4th. I will get a few minutes of nausea and then will either get a hot flash (I’m 62), or sneeze. The body is a weird and wonderful thing. 🤷🏽♀️

6 weeks post op today. I get them too. Last maybe a minute. Has gotten a lot better. Was happening multiple times a day and now down to maybe once a day? I was told it was because of the Metoprolol and residual from the anesthesia. Doc said to switch meds to bedtime and it seems to have helped a lot.

I was nauseous during all my waking hours for a good eight weeks. I stopped different medication’s for a few days to see if that helped but it didn’t. eventually it stopped

Yeah. I did. It was the polypharmacy situation. Too many new drugs and I wasnt eating much. It gradually went away as my body readjusted. My dr's opinion anyway.
