For the past couple of months, a few times a day, I get very nauseous.
 I run to the bathroom but instead of being sick, I sneeze - sometimes
once, sometimes a few times.  I don't *always* sneeze when I feel
nauseous - sometimes I do the more expected thing or nothing happens,
but this keeps happening and I'm curious about it.  I'm going to see
my doctor in about a month but would like some ideas about this now. 
TIA!!

Are you on any medication?

Clarification of Question by baerana-ga on 15 Mar 2004 03:39 PST
No, but if there is certain medication that causes this sort of thing,
I'd be interested to know of it.  Anything that may cause these
symptoms is of interest to me.  Thanks.

This happens at home and at other places - car, mall, work, friend's
house, whatever.

Do you drink diet soda or anything with aspartame?  I've heard of
people having adverse effects with artificial sweeteners. Maybe worth
looking into.

Clarification of Question by baerana-ga on 15 Mar 2004 11:29 PST
I do not eat aspartame or other artificial sweetners.  I specifically
avoid them in fact.  I am not pregnant, nor am I on the pill.  I do
not have any particular medical condition that I am aware of that
would make me different from any other person.  If you are finding
some links somewhere that actually have information about this
condition (eg: being nauseous before you sneeze can be caused by any
of the things you asked about) I would like to be given the links. 
I'm not interested in particular why I get nauseous, I'm interested in
why or how that would relate to having to sneeze.

Hi,

You haven't mentioned your sex or your age ... These might help.

Does this only happen when you are at home?

Or does it affect you in other places, wherever you are?

I'm NOT qualified to give you any medical advice .... BUT

I just wonder if you have some nasal problem e.g. sinuses; polyps ...

(I've got nasal polyps so I know these can be a real nuisance.)

I would suggest that you get the doctor to take a look up your nose
because, in my experience, this is not something that they do as a
matter of course.

Hope that you soon get a fix but please report back as soon as you've got it sorted.

Fluctuations in hormones can easily cause women to feel nauseous; if
you're on the pill, that might be the cause. It's also fairly normal
for women's hormones to fluctuate as they grow older.

Post nasal drip can also make you feel very nauseous.

But the sneezing instead of vomiting...that I can't explain! Unless,
perhaps, allergies causing post nasal drip are at the root.

Ah, not just aspertame, either. Splenda makes me sooooo sick to my tummy.

Here is a link that shows you are not alone in this:

This suggests it may be a sinus problem, but not necessarily convincingly.
