I am 35 years old and had a brain shunt installed in September. For the first 2 months, I was not nauseous but in January, I started throwing up and getting stomach pains every time I out my head down on a pillow. My surgeon said shunts don't cause stomach pains, etc... He sent me to a stomach specialist. After, sever tests including an endoscopy, blood tests, stomach emptying test, (he even wants to do an MRI) I think it has to do with my shunt. I will see my neuro surgeon again since other specialist found nothing wrong. I will let you all know what he says.

I hope you all have gotten relief from you nausea symptoms and hope their temporary. Let me know if adjusting your shunt, or what has worked for anyone with similar symptoms. I have a chronic stomach ache and if I get up to fast to answer to the phone or turn off the alarm I get sick.
