		Is constant sinus drainage harmful to the stomach? Dec 5, 2000 Can constant sinus drainage into the stomach be harmful? I think this is what has been causing nausea off and on for the past few months, since blood tests at the dr.'s office show nothing abnormal except for weight loss.


		Response from Dr. Feinberg No, I don't think it's harmful, and although it's impossible to say that there's absolutely no connection with your intermittent nausea, I doubt it.
