About the Symptom
Nausea is the sensation of an urge to vomit. Vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying ("throwing up") of stomach contents through the mouth.
When to See a Doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
- Seizure attack
- Jaundice
- Edema
- Recent weight loss
- Unexplained weight loss of 5% or more in 1 month
- Vomiting of blood
- Melena (black stools)
Possible Causes
Generally, Nausea or vomiting can be related to:
- Psychogenic Vomiting
A condition where vomiting is caused by psychological distress rather than infection or medications. Treatment of the underlying stressor or psychiatric illness is necessary.
- Hyperemesis Gravidarum
A severe form of morning sickness, where patients have significant vomiting and are typically unable to keep much food or fluids down. They can lose weight and become very dehydrated. The exact cause is unclear, but it's thought to be related to levels of pregnancy hormones (β-hCG and estrogen). Early treatment of morning sickness can help prevent progression to this severe form. There is typically no harm to the developing baby from this condition, but it is important to maintain normal hydration and weight in the mom.
- Pyloric Stenosis
Abnormal narrowing of the stomach exit. It affects babies between birth and 6 months of age and causes forceful, projectile vomiting that can lead to dehydration. Risk factors include male gender, preterm birth, and smoking during pregnancy.
- Galactorrhea
- Motion Sickness
- Morning Sickness
Related Serious Diseases
Sometimes, Nausea or vomiting may be related to these serious diseases:
- Cyclic Vomiting
A condition with repeated and severe vomiting. Patients may become very unwell due to dehydration and starvation. The exact cause is unknown, but known triggers include emotional stress, anxiety, or viral illnesses.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
- Cerebellar Hemorrhage / Infarction
- Acute Gastric Volvulus
Doctor's Diagnostic Questions
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this symptom:
- Have you been experiencing nausea or vomiting?
- When did you first start experiencing nausea or vomiting?
- How severe or frequent are your nausea or vomiting symptoms?
- How is your nausea or vomiting now?
- Do you intentionally induce vomiting?
