Nausea could also be his meds or dehydration. I suffered from nausea a great deal towards the end and 2 weeks post Tx. If I coughed I would throw up. If I tried to drink something I had to hold my mouth shut and hope that would stop my gag reaction. I wasn't eating or drinking and I didn't have this site to tell me otherwise. I was a mess. I finally stopped all pain meds because I thought (and still don't know for sure) they were making me sick. It was probably a combo of everything.
