Nausea and vomitting are not symptoms of either Graves or hyperthyroidism, in general. Different people can react in different ways, but I’ve never seen these listed in any symptom lists.

When I was at my most hyper, before diagnosis and after becoming seriously sympotmatic, I had had nausea and vomitting everyday. I also had problems with heartburn like I had never had outside of pregnancy. After about six months it went away. I had nausea with my two RAI’s and sometimes it comes and goes but it has not been as problematic as it was in the beginning. I also have posted to this board regarding nausea and vomitting and found that, in general, it was not a common symptom. I guess we are the lucky ones.
I would suspect the acid reflux more than the Graves. It is all a vicious circle though isn’t it? My heartburn was a result of the thyroid wackiness, my vomitting was probably a result of the heartburn and so on and so on. I wish I had a handy solution to the problem but like I said, my nausea and vomitting cleared up on its own.
At any rate, you are not alone. I have been there.

I am so glad that the message board is here.
I have got to make a decision before Monday on taking the RAI. I keep hearing negative comments about this, but my doctors seem to think that it is the best way to go. I am so confused!!!
I have been on a beta blocker for a little over a week, but I am not on any other medications because I am about to have the RAI treatment next week.
Each of us is so different that it’s hard to believe. I never took ATD’s and went straight to RAI because of drug sensitivity. Also I was severely sick and had atrial fibrillation, so the doctors were eager to get my treatment underway. I never had a sore throat but did develop a sore neck. I was never nauseous and was able to see progress in recovery within one week. It still me two years to reach normal levels but I gradually felt better all the time. By the way, I had 15 millicuries but no one ever said if that was a small, medium, or large dose.
