Hyperemesis...without vomiting?!?

[Hunnybear]

I've been having lots of health issues recently all culminating in 2 hospital visits in 3 days with low potassium, sodium, low bp, low blood sugar, dizziness, nausea, muscle weakness, heart palpitations etc. I was diagnosed wig hyperemesis today but I don't really throw up! I just feel sick enough that I barely eat but there's maybe only been 2 instances of vomiting in the last 13 weeks. Has anyone else had this without vomiting? My doctor says that even though I'm not vomiting, if it's bad enough that I've lost 26lbs and it is causing malnutrtion it is a positive diagnosis.

Anyone else been on the same boat?

i've had it WITH vomiting for 6 weeks straight. but the term refers to severe vomiting or nausea. so yes, you probably have HG i hope it gets better for you. 2nd tri is USUALLY better for most people. and sometimes picks back up during 3rd due to another increase in hormones.

You can have hyperemesis without vomiting, if as you say it causes you malnutrition, I hope you feel better soon

I think with vomiting must be much worse.! Vomiting gives me headaches, heartburn and makes me vomit more! I hope you get better really soon!

I found sever nausia as bad as vomiting - or on a par - I felt so ill i couldnt eat or drink - eventually i threw up and then felt better - for a short while (15 mins) it was the first restbite from feeling so sick.. then i started throwing up all the time.. yugh

You can't win - sickness feeling sick -tis all bad

I hope it passes for you soon xxx

I guess I'm going to have to admit that they were correct with diagnosis because I have been medicating and have felt hungry, eaten and kept food down for 2 days now and already feel a difference in my dizziness, strength and heart palpitations! Wow, what a huge difference it really makes you realize how "empty" you were before!

If you can have hyperemesis without vomiting then clearly it needs a new name!

I have it with vomiting and did in my last pregnancy too. I have lost 19lbs so far and it is horrendous! To be honest i would rather actually be sick than just feel it, but i suppose the downside is you become dehydrated faster with actually vomiting. Either way it is an awful awful symptom and i hope to God it passes soon - for all of us xxxx
