Nausea
Description
Nausea is an uneasy and unsettling sensation often recognized as an urge to vomit. Nausea is painless but it may cause irritation and discomfort in chest, upper abdomen (stomach area), and throat. Nausea is usually the manifestation of an underlying disturbance. In many cases, nausea precedes vomiting and stomach discomfort. Prolonged nausea is a crippling sensation.
Causes
Nausea can be experienced in various situations, both medical and non-medical. Few are listed below:
- Bacterial and viral infections (food poisoning).
- Pregnancy-related.
- Acidity and heartburn which causes reflux of food contents with nausea.
- Certain medicines like cancer therapy drugs can cause stomach upset and nausea.
- Long-standing stomach ulcers.
- Seasickness.
- During Menstruation.
- A Migraine.
- Traveling long distances and taking bumpy routes makes the head dizzy and triggers nausea.
- Taking heavy meals and overeating.
- Staying empty stomach for long periods.
- Eating food that is not good in taste or eating allergic food items.
Risk factors
Certain medical conditions may present with a severe episode of nausea:
- Post-surgery nausea especially more in mentally disabled people.
- Meningitis and brain injury.
- Vertigo
- Long-standing liver disease and liver cancer.
- Intestinal obstruction.
- Heart attack.
Symptoms
While nausea is itself a symptom, some associated symptoms include:
- Altered taste and dry mouth.
- Chest heaviness.
- Increased pulse rate.
- Stomach ache.
- Sweating and low blood pressure.
- Feeling dizzy and even fainting.
Diagnosis
To reach a diagnosis, your doctor will take your detailed medical history, will recommend you to get a few laboratory investigations like blood tests done, will ask about duration, intensity, frequency, and aggravating and relieving factors of your condition.
Management
- If nausea is triggered by traveling a long distance or going in the sea, take anti-nausea tablets before traveling.
- Painkillers for a migraine.
Some helpful tips
- Eat healthy cereals, fruits and eat smaller portions to help digestion.
- Exercise regularly.
- Do not lie down right after eating.
- Avoid greasy and spicy food which is the source of heartburn.
- Stay away from smoking or foul smell if it’s the cause of nausea.
- Take mint or fennel seeds to get rid of the bad taste in mouth and nausea.
When to consult a doctor?
Immediately see a doctor if the nausea is accompanied by uncontrolled vomiting and low blood pressure, as this can lead to shock. Also, if nausea has prevented you from eating or drinking anything for the past 12 hours then a visit to the doctor is a must.
