What Is Nausea?

Nausea may be best defined as the intense desire to vomit something out of your stomach. It begins in the pit of your stomach and quickly spreads to your head as a queasy feeling. Then, you feel like throwing up everything that is in your stomach, as it may sometimes require urgent care. Nausea causes an involuntary contraction of your abdominal muscles that results in vomiting, which might be beyond your control. Sometimes headache, fever, heartburn, diarrhea, and abdominal pain accompany nausea and vomiting.

Your daily tasks and routine activities are disrupted by nausea. Other moments of day-to-day life like eating, working, and enjoying normal activities are also affected by nausea.

What are the common causes of Nausea?

There are several reasons why you might experience nausea. These are a few of the most typical causes:

  • Hormonal Fluctuations:
    Changes in hormones, such as those brought on by pregnancy or menopause can cause nausea. Infections: Bacterial and viral infections can easily lead to nausea, like the stomach flu, also referred to as viral gastroenteritis.
  • Medication:
    Changing one's prescription or starting a new one can occasionally cause nausea. Change of medication has its side effects which can get out of control and cause nausea.
  • Alcohol Consumption:
    Having too much alcohol can give you a hangover, which is frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
  • Food Poisoning:
    Nausea and vomiting can appear soon after consuming tainted food. Nausea can also result from allergic reactions to particular foods.
  • Pregnancy:
    Morning sickness, also known as nausea, is a common symptom of pregnancy. It can happen at any time of day and result in vomiting.

Who is more likely to experience nausea?

  • Nausea can pull anyone at any age, either young children or adults or the elderly.
  • Nausea is more common in patients receiving cancer treatments like radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
  • First-trimester pregnant women may also experience nausea, a condition known as "morning sickness." It is estimated by researchers that between 25% and 55% of pregnant women experience vomiting, and between 50% and 90% experience nausea. This makes it important for you as a pregnant woman to get access to a reliable women's health plan.

How is Nausea Treated?

At Macie Medical, nausea treatment focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause, ensuring a care approach for each patient. If nausea occurs from a temporary condition, such as motion sickness or mild food poisoning, treatment may involve rest, hydration, and simple dietary adjustments. For persistent or more serious cases of nausea, we may recommend anti-nausea medications to relieve symptoms.

We also perform a thorough assessment to determine if other factors, such as gastrointestinal issues, infections, or medication side effects, are contributing to nausea. In cases where chronic nausea is linked to underlying health conditions like migraines, digestive disorders, or pregnancy, we tailor the treatment plan to address both the nausea and its root cause.

Additionally, our clinic provides patients with guidance on lifestyle adjustments to prevent nausea, including tips on managing stress, maintaining hydration, and making dietary changes. We work closely with each patient, offering follow-up care and ongoing support to ensure lasting relief from nausea and improved overall health.

If you're experiencing persistent or severe nausea, we encourage you to visit our clinic for a comprehensive evaluation and effective care plan. Book your appointment today to start feeling well.

Managing Nausea After Eating: Home Remedies

The following are the tips on how to manage nausea at home, as recommended by our doctors:

  • Avoid Eating Fast:
    Eat slowly by not putting too much pressure on your digestive system during a meal, which can cause nausea.
  • Chew food before swallowing:
    Take your time to break your food into particles by chewing it very well for your stomach to further break it down to avoid nausea.
  • Small Portions of Food:
    Eating more often and taking smaller meals at once can keep your stomach from filling and clogging up too much, which lessens the risk of getting nausea.
  • Remain upright:
    You should always stay upright for a few minutes after eating a meal. Lying down immediately following a meal may aggravate acid reflux, which can cause nausea.
