Synopsis of Nausea and Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are protective reflexes triggered by the brain in response to various physical or emotional stimuli. While often short-lived, they can be distressing and may indicate an underlying illness, toxicity, or imbalance. These symptoms commonly occur together but can also present independently. Nausea is the uneasy, queasy sensation in the stomach with or without actual vomiting, while vomiting is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents.

Common causes include:

• Viral or bacterial infections (e.g., stomach flu)

• Food poisoning

• Pregnancy (especially in the first trimester)

• Motion sickness or inner ear disorders

• Overeating or indigestion

• Medication side effects (e.g., chemotherapy, antibiotics)

• Migraine

• Anxiety or emotional stress

• Gastrointestinal disorders (GERD, gastritis, ulcers)

Serious or chronic causes may involve:

• Appendicitis or intestinal blockage

• Pancreatitis

• Meningitis

• Brain injury or increased intracranial pressure

• Toxic exposure (e.g., heavy metals, alcohol)

When to see a doctor:
Seek medical attention if nausea and vomiting are persistent, accompanied by fever, dehydration, severe abdominal pain, blood, confusion, or inability to keep fluids down. For pregnant individuals, persistent vomiting may indicate hyperemesis gravidarum.

Natural remedies for Nausea and Vomiting

Avoid Strong Smells and Greasy Foods: These can trigger nausea.
