Feeling Sick? Mystery Behind Nausea and Digestive Disorders

Eugene Park Views  

Nausea is a common symptom that can be triggered by various factors, ranging from physical illnesses to psychological stress. Let’s examine the key causes of nausea and how each affects the body.

Digestive System Disorders and Nausea

Gastritis and Gastric Ulcers

Gastritis and gastric ulcers occur due to inflammation or damage to the stomach lining. These conditions can cause nausea, indigestion, and abdominal pain as stomach acid and food irritate the stomach lining. Symptoms can worsen after eating or when the stomach is empty. Treatment includes medication to suppress stomach acid secretion and protect the stomach lining, as well as lifestyle modifications and dietary restrictions.

Indigestion

Indigestion, a condition where food is not properly digested, can cause nausea as well as indigestion, heartburn, and bloating. Overeating, consuming fatty foods, stress, and certain medications can be the cause. Regulating meal portions and having lighter meals, as well as managing stress, can help alleviate symptoms.

Neurological Disorders and Nausea

Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines are neurological disorders that can be accompanied by nausea. Migraines, in particular, can trigger severe headaches, visual symptoms, increased sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting. Managing migraines may involve avoiding trigger factors, medication, and lifestyle adjustments.

Meniere’s Disease

Meniere’s disease is a condition caused by excessive fluid accumulation in the inner ear, causing vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and possibly nausea and vomiting. This is due to changes in pressure in the inner ear and disturbances in the sense of balance. Treatment may include medication to control fluid pressure, a low-salt diet, and stress management.

Psychological Factors and Nausea

Stress and Anxiety

Psychological stress and anxiety can affect the function of the digestive system, leading to nausea. The manifestation of stress as physical symptoms is a response of the autonomic nervous system. Meditation, regular exercise, adequate rest, and psychological therapy can help manage stress and anxiety.

Fear and Tension

Intense fear or a state of heightened anxiety activates the body’s sympathetic nervous system, which can trigger nausea. Such responses are part of the body’s preparation process to deal with danger. To alleviate these symptoms, it is important to find ways to relax and restore calmness.

Nausea due to Drugs and Chemicals

Side Effects

Certain medications, especially chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, and painkillers, can cause nausea as a side effect. This is because these drugs can irritate the gastrointestinal tract or disrupt the body’s chemical balance. Nausea resulting from medication use should be discussed with a doctor, who may adjust or substitute the medication.

Poisoning and Overdose

Poisoning or overdose from alcohol, drugs, or toxic chemicals can cause a toxic reaction in the body, leading to nausea. This is part of the body’s defense mechanism to eliminate toxins. Nausea due to poisoning or overdose requires immediate medical attention.
