Is It Normal For A Dialysis Patient To Have Nausea

A:

Vomiting is a common symptom in patients undergoing dialysis. This usually occurs as a result of the low pressure caused by the treatment. Dialysis removes excess fluid from the system and causes your blood pressure to drop. This sudden fluid loss and drop in blood pressure comes as a shock to the system, and increases the risk of vomiting.

Is there any solution for nausea in dialysis?

Limiting your salt intake helps keep your blood pressure more stable.

Most medications make your blood pressure drop even further during dialysis, which makes vomiting worse.

Make sure your weight is taken correctly on the day of dialysis treatment. If your weight is measured incorrectly, dialysis machine may be set to remove more fluid from your system, which results in low blood pressure and nausea.

The above are treatments to relieve nausea temporarily. The radical and effective treatment for nausea in dialysis have to be Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which can reduce dialysis times or even get off dialysis. This therapy is a unique Chinese medicine treatment in China. It is based on herbs but used externally. Patients just need to lie on the bed to take this treatment.
