Nauseous every morning for past 3 years in IB, anyone else?

Assume this will never get fixed and I probably will either just have to quit IB

I am an associate 1, for the past 3 years of being in IB every single morning when I have to go into the office (doesn't happen on weekends) I am just incredibly NAUSEOUS. I feel like I can throw up. I have diarrhea 2-3 times before 10 A.M. Will plan to see a doctor but was wondering if anyone went through something similiar.

Just because you’re a guy doesn’t mean you can’t try to get pregnant 

 

Definitely visit the doctor, but more than likely it will just be chalked up to stress from work, which is probably the case. Not sure what the doctor would be able to prescribe but hopefully it's a fix, wishing you the best man.

Do you take any medication? I found taking my adderall and having a coffee and then not eating breakfast gave me both of these symptoms. If not, I'd most likely chalk it up to anxiety or some problem with your sympathetic nervous system. Definitely see a doctor

 

Congrats on IBS!

But in all seriousness it’s probably IBS, or could also be an issue with your gut microbiome. Stress and high amounts of coffee + medication will shred your gut, and can cause a whole laundry list of issues. Look into probiotics, maybe multi vitamins, and try to audit your diet.

You could be eating something that you’re allergic to/don’t tolerate well.

 

Good shout - I actually smoke daily and have been for years and years. I am a heavy user. However, on weekends or if I have a day off (PTO, etc) then there will be 100% no nausea at all. Only on workdays and especially on workdays I have tough deliverables. Do you personally think this just means it HAS to be stress and anxiety? Will still console a doctor.
