        Doctors statistically dismiss women’s symptoms more often than men’s. Don’t be quiet about it and find new doctors if they won’t listen to you.

    Definitely ask your doctor to follow up on this. I went through something similar a few months ago and found OTC anti nausea pills helped me get through while my doc was figuring things out. Ginger capsules kept me from taking more time off work than necessary.

    Have your blood tested & vitamin levels checked! I was low on potassium at one point and it made monthly cramps much worse.

    Maybe also keep a food diary? Could be a food allergy/intolerance.

    I found that eating radishes helps with my nausea.

    Hope you feel better soon!

    Herbal scented candles. Also if you’re desperately trying not to throw up, it’s not good for you but smelling an alcohol pad gives immediate relief.

    Try those drug-store seasickness wrist bands. There’s an acupressure point on your wrist that can be effective for nausea.

    IME, acupressure works best when it’s uncomfortable; I suspect it works by trading a lot of one sort of pain for a little bit of another, but that’s just my theory. I mention this because if you try it and it doesn’t work, find the place where applying pressure to the little plastic nub is almost painful.

    Placebo or not, these are effective nausea control for my wife.

    Also: ask your doctor for anti-nausea meds. They’re not expensive, and while prescription, aren’t class-3 or whatever it is that makes doctors afraid to prescribe them. They don’t work for me, but they’re 100% effective for my wife.
