Question:
Dry Heaves, Nausea early in the morning

No Im not pregnant, but I seem to be suffering from morning sickness. Horrible nausea and dry heaves. Nothing come up...but I cannot control it. I am 3 months Post-op...could it just be hunger?? It usually goes away after I eat. But sometimes not.....HELP.    — August S. (posted on January 22, 2002)

I have the same problem. I wake up in the morning and feel like I am sick. I take my shower and then get really sick. I don't throw up, just feel like I have to and I get the dry heaves. I can tell you this, I find it happens worse after I brush my teeth. Stay up for about 30 min or longer and then brush your teeth if you have a problem like I do. I hope someone has the answer. Sorry I couldn't help, but your not alone in this boat.

Sounds like low blood sugar. That is a frequent cause of "morning sickness" whether you are pregnant or not. You might want to have something with protein as soon as you get up. A cracker with a little peanut butter, a few peanuts - it doesn't have to be much. If it is blood sugar, then you will start feeling better soon. Patty

I had this too, and some kind soul told me to drink something hot as soon as I got up. I have a cup of herbal tea every morning that my dh brings to me in bed when he gets his coffee and I sip on it before I get up to start my day. BTW, it did finally go away after about 6 weeks, but I still keep drinking the tea every morning just in case, lol! Good luck!
