IT's one thing to say that, yes these symptoms persist in some people for a long time and it's nothing to worry about, and another thing entirely when you're experiencing it. My son just went through 2 months of severe GI discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, which meant that he couldn't eat, and lost more than ten pounds, and was subsisting on a liquid diet. It's not just some mild nausea, it's severe...finally, we were given some medication to manage these symptoms, which was a game changer...don't be afraid to ask for support with these severe symptoms. My son became severely malnourished during this illness, and is only barely functional now.
What medication is he on for nausea
@@IndoorCitrusTreeFun He was given Reglan after zofran didn't help. Also bentyl for gut spasm/pain. FInally, after about a month using these meds, he's almost off them thankfully!
I am experiencing all that. Mostly abdominal pain and diarrhea and constipation. One day I have diarrhea, the other constipation. What did he use? Is he better now? I'm losing hope since it's been 5 months for me ):
@@taliaboaventura6107 oh yeah, he also used imodium for the diarrhea, it really helped slow things down while we worked on other healing.
That’s exactly me. Now the nausea is much less, but still lingering. Most of all I am soooo fatigued!
After contracting covid omicron I have noticed sustained pressure on the right hand side of my ribs. (Feel it breathing in)
A few weeks after recovering from
Covid, i was hit with something much worse. Symptoms were:
Upper abdominal pain
High fever
Nausea and Vomiting
Brain fog and persistent headache
Muscle soreness and stiffness
Same did you get better ?
@@soojinpark6679 overall yes but I still cannot do sport properly. My breathing cannot handle to play sport even after 6 months
Me too !!! I have random dizzy spells durning the day as well as random bouts of double vision and ear ringing ! Along with nausea vomiting Brian fog , tight painful muscles that twitch, more stomach pain and then the worst of all is the heart palpitations ❤ ! Out of no where my heart will begin to race n I get very nervous feeling n scared n right in my chest it’s truly horrible !! I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy ! And my smell and taste still ain’t right 😞
Feel u brother. Same here. Did a bunch of tests (no colonscopy or endoscopy) and they did not find anything. I cant f*** do sports anymore and lost some of my strentgh. Itd been 5 months after covid. I did have bad stomach pain in covid
Have a doctor check you for something called silent gerd.
I got Covid in 2020 and I'm suffering from stomach issues ever since...third freaking year....I guess it doesn't help that I got Covid again in 2022. The annoying part is that covid itself wasn't a big deal, especially second time after all the vaccines - my throat hurt a little for a few days, that's it. But my stomach issues flared up again with the all the painful might 😞😞😞
Ditto, one year here.
❤ can totally relate.. I got covid January 9, 2020 It had been and still is Hell !!
Its my 3rd year suffering GI post covid effect
Got COVID-19 2 weeks ago and developed a stomach issue. Every time I eat, I feel a knot in stomach
You aren't alone
Same, feel nauseous to
Go check you pancreas asap
Did u get check for hiatal hernia?
It got better over time.
Upper pain that travels to the back. I looked like I was 6 months pregnant. So uncomfortable then started eating yogurt with probiotics to manage to poop because I can't atm. Helped just a tiny bit. Swelling in the stomach started to go down. Iam very sensitive to touch in my stomach. I can only eat a lil before I feel full. A month in I got my smell and taste back there are off some days. But they are back. I guess with taking care of yourself slowly it'll get a lil better 😔 my stomach is still not great ..still struggling to poop and sometimes my cough comes back. Very weird.
Have you tried gotten any better? Dealing with some of this now
Gut is very sympathetic and when you focus on it it will give you feedback and direct you to sources to help. Gut is smart enough to communicate if you are smart enough to listen to your Vagus nerve.
Have you had long covid problems?
I am 66 years old woman very health conscious for my whole life. I had a very mild covid in Oct. Since then, my digestive Tract has been deteriorating. Endoscopy shows gastritis and esophagitis added to IBS. Just a nightmare for a person who doesn't smoke, doesn't drink not even soda for many many years.Last Friday I stopped eating solids. Today I finally connected with that mild covid that I didn't even remember I've had. No matter how much I listen to my body I cannot hear any response....as a human I experienced wounds healing, bones mending, but this time is very unusual.
I have had the worst gut issues since getting the covid vaccine and the virus. It feels like the worst thing i ever had and feel like noone listens. At my worst it went through a stage of lets say gastro symptoms for 40 days
Hope you’re feeling better
Me too after Pfizer vaccine
@@christinenakibombo8177 yep i had Pfizer vaccine as well
Debliting go symptoms for 16 months no hunger constipation I feel.as though I have no gi process.. the anxiety is beyond me
@@donnaghanim6091 i never understood why all this stuff was so overlooked considering it was WAY worse than just getting covid
for me nausea , couging only at night for some reason, and vomiting these 3 symptoms have not gone away since recovering from covid a month ago.I've lost 10 pounds due to constant nausea even if i try and eat i throw up as nausea is so bad. i never had nausea until I got covid after thats its like it just doesn't go away some days are better than others, If anyone has had this please let me know what has worked for you.
I had similar experience last year as well. I had to go totally bland diet with high organic chicken and walnuts for months. Couldn’t any supplements and so many vegetables were unbearable. It took months to build it back again. I took cbd thc for nausea as it was so secret I couldn’t eat hardly. I did a month of ayurveda low intensity digestive fire diet which completely saved me in that phase. Everything was very basic and cooked very well. After that month it gave me more digestion power to eat raw and vegetables but it was very slow and controlled process that was completely exhausting full time job in itself. I hope you are doing better now!
I've had constipation for 8 months since having Covid and 6 jabs as I am at risk group ,currently on water, Prune juice and a light diet and exercise ,it helps. please note, I found having too much fibre makes constipation worse as it backs up against the block in the Anus.
I had had to revert to an enema Calfig or Lactulose if that happens..
Going on two years with these symptoms, glad I shouldn't be concerned. They have ruined my life. Severe nausea for months, felt like gagging for hours on end. Try working like that. After nine months of that it turned into intestinal bloating, pain, sometimes nausea. You want to eat but don't know what you can handle. Everything you eat will cause the symptoms to occur. Your stomach can handle a complete meal, the intestines can't. You can't exercise, you need to live near a bathroom. I had to retire because at times the only thing you can do is lay down. The thing is I never had covid. This all started after getting the vaccine. Only got the vaccine because work demanded you get it to return to the office and then they canceled the return in September of 2021. Eventually going back in September of 2022.
Yes
Iam 27 years old. I was fit and damn healthy.
Took my first covid shield vaccine shot in January, got slight chest heaviness, headache and fever the next day, was fine after that.
Then took my second covid shield vaccine shot in March, didn't get any symptoms from this second shot of vaccine.
The next month i.e in April I was tested covid positive & in next i.e in may i started to experience a hell lot of symptoms.
The series of events are mentioned below:-
-> Palpitations for no reason.
-> Palpitations in sleep for no stress and anxiety.
-> Heart pain and shortness of breath.
Due to this I was taken to ER couple of times, where EKG was normal many times, doctors there used to tell me that it's a stress and anxiety, but it was not the case.
So I decided to go for heart diagnose.
Here TMT, ECHO and other blood test showed normal values.
Atlast CT coronary angiography was carried out, here also the report did come normal.
Currently I still experienced heart pain and chest discomfort, but there is no shortness of breath.
Sometimes I don't have any symptoms while walking, running and climbing the stairs, but even at rest I can feel the heart pain.
Currently I am on beta blockers tablets(metoprolol 50g), currently the episode of Palpitations has reduced.
God help me from this.
Thanks china, for destroying my life and health 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.

Mate i feel your pain since having the vaccines my health declined a lot i got tests for my stomach left right and centre plus blood work and apparently it all came back normal despite the fact that i almost shit my self to death over a 1 month period noone gave me any answeres or refused to admit anything about the vaccine. I come from a healthy lifestyle before all this rubbish happened and this is were i ve ended up now. Just lies and hidden answers noone wants to give me the truth and its effected my whole life and for what!?

There are ways to detox from the spike protein in those shots. Everyone I know who took the shots have been in a really bad place. The spike protein will continue to wreak havoc until you neutralize it - same as with a covid infection - but sadly the shots are worse than just getting covid 😔😞
@@daniellebrandon3538how do you neutralize the spike protein???
@@karenelliott879 Hi, there are lots of things you can do to neutralize the spike protein. There is a great product called Spike Support by The Wellness Company, I took that for about 3 months. Other things are NAC, Ivermectin, HCQ, Green Tea (ECGC), Clean Slate by Root Brands, EDTA chelation, shikimic acid, fennel, and star anise.
Chronic Gastritis since my second Covid shot over 2 years ago. No problems at all before that. Got Covid 4 months ago. Symptoms got worse for a while, but I got a bit better again. Symptoms still persist. Things I tried that everybody recommends, but did not help much: PPI/Pepcid, diet changes, slippery elm, DGL Gavoscin.... Things I really want to look into or know more about: Long covid, antihistamines, Mast cell stabilizers, vagus nerve...
Like you my issues started after second Pfizer shot in August of 2021. My doctor thinks I am nuts, Nine months of severe nausea. Tried the liquids for upset stomach, bought a Relief band that is supposed to block the gag feeling. Nothing worked. Now it's bad intestinal bloating and pain. Tried probiotics, Apple cider vinegar, multivitamins, different foods. Nothing worked. Doctors prescribed a med that blocked acid. That failed. Had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound and blood work. They don't see an issue. I would like a pill cam test. They would have to knock me out to get that pill into my stomach.
@@rbspider thx for your response! Also had the Biontech/Pfizer shot. In the first months I also was naseous. Was scared that I will puke in the metro to get to work, but that was still a lot better than car rides. Always had Ondansetron/Zofran with me (which is supposed to be taken while chemotherapy). Now I'm like 85-90% healed (not naseous, but abdominal pain & bloating sometimes), but I'm not making much progress aynmore. Also had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound, blood work & SIBO test. No issues found. Pill cam test sounds interesting. Is it for checking bile reflux (which could also be an issue, but difficult to test I've heard)?
@@DJamattix Pill cam records images and sends them to a recording device that is strapped onto you. You wear it until it exits the body . I thought it might see a blockage or inflamed digestive system. My BM's were pretty normal but because I could not eat back then in late 2021 they were not as regular. I could go days without one. Another side effect was that after a BM I would need to lay down . Again lucky I was working from home. Feeling sick after a BM can still happen today but the time of discomfort is not as severe and there's a shorter recovery time. My doctor had me get a Pfizer booster on June 2022 . Like a moron I got it because I was worried that if I didn't get it he would not treat me. Throughout the Winter of 2021/2022 and into the Spring my feeling to gag just got worse. In June of 2022 the issue moved into the intestines just like your symptoms and there it has stayed for almost a year . I have good days but mostly bad . Lots of bloating just like you , lots of discomfort . A feeling of fullness in the gut even after BM's two days in a row. One thing that seems to make it worse is coffee or drinks that have caffeine but not all the time. I think there is a delayed reaction to what I take in and how I feel. Prior to September of 2021 I could eat and drink everything . Now everything repeats , I wake up with gut bloating and pain plus low level burping. If I try to exercise I upset my internals . I think Pfizer owes me a few million for the suffering . I retired in September of 2022 when we were ordered to return to the office. I no longer wanted to drive and physically could no longer do it. On any given day I have no idea how bad I will feel. I see the doctor in a months time , my yearly check up. It would take images in the stomach , it might see damage but not sure about the Bile . I think that was the reason for ordering a endoscopy , also to check for a stomach bacteria that can indicate a cancer but not sure on this , will check with doctor soon. A manager of mine just died of pancreatic cancer , I was worried about that too . My endoscopy doctor thought it could be the gallbladder but that was clear , they could not see the tail on the pancreas due to gas . Did I mention that you should raise the headboard so that you sleep at an angle . Mine is about 6 inches higher , about 152 mm It helped with reflux.
Non stop nausea and vomitting any solution how long it last i m day 7 how long should i wait to heal is it dangerous plz if anyone could help by advising me
