Nausea
Abstract
Nausea is a widespread, non-specific condition that is triggered by stimuli in the gastrointestinal tract or due to disturbances in the sense of balance.
Nausea can be caused by organic, psychosomatic, hormonal or external factors.
In most cases, nausea with vomiting is a detoxification measure of the body and a temporary condition. Persistent nausea , on the other hand, can indicate more serious illnesses.
Anti-nausea medication and herbal substances help with acute attacks.
Definition
Nausea is not a disease and in itself is a very generalized condition. What all manifestations have in common is localization in the gastrointestinal area. However, the actual trigger can be located in a completely different part of the body. To put it simply, nausea is the feeling of imminent vomiting. The vomiting itself is called emesis or vomitus by experts. The medical term for nausea is nausea. The word is derived from derived from the ancient Greek “nautia”, which means “seasickness”. means. The information absorbed by the brain unusual impulses to move on board a ship lead to revolt in the stomach. The name Motion sickness is more appropriate for this form of nausea in times of cars and airplanes.
Causes
The nausea can be caused by different stimuli.
Not all causes are of a physical nature:
Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and other internal organs
Metabolic disorders
Damage to the central nervous system
Stroke or heart attack
Glaucoma
Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy or the menstrual cycle
Ingestion of toxic substances or spoiled food
Side effects of medication
Psychological triggers such as feelings of disgust, stress or fear
Unusual movements (e.g. aircraft take-off)
Respiratory diseases
Infectious diseases (e.g. flu)
Parasites (e.g. worms, Lyme disease caused by ticks)
Risk factors
As unspecific as the triggers for nausea are, the risks are just as varied. Nausea caused by external influences can affect healthy people with a strong organism at any time. Groups of people such as pregnant women or patients after anesthesia or during chemotherapy suffer more from nausea.

Symptoms
Nausea manifests itself through various physical sensations that can occur simultaneously or individually:
These signs of nausea originate in the gastrointestinal tract. The body actively gets rid of harmful substances through vomiting and diarrhea. This could be spoiled food or an overloaded stomach. Substances contaminated with pathogens or toxins are also vomited up. Other signs include loss of balance and dizziness
Such symptoms can, for example, indicate temporary functional disorders of the brain. These can be the consequences of alcohol or drug influence, for example. Complaints such as migraines or inner ear disorders are also conceivable. In addition, fever and sweating are not uncommon with nausea.
Course
Nausea manifests itself as a symptom of other illnesses or as a separate bodily reaction to isolated key stimuli. One There is no typical, exemplary course. In general, nausea in most cases steers towards the final triggering of the nausea. Emptying the stomach often leads to relief of the symptoms.
Diagnosis
If the nausea is serious and the stimulus is unclear, consult your family doctor. The doctor can first narrow down the possible causes of the symptoms by asking the patient in detail. They will determine whether
is more likely to be a trigger induced by the stomach or the brain. The usual examinations include
Blood pressure measurement
Blood count
Stool and urine examination
Allergy tests
Physical examination
If it is suspected that damage to nerves or the brain is causing the nausea, other methods are used to examine internal organs – for example:
Ultrasound examination
Gastroscopy
X-ray images
Computer tomography
Electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram
In this way, the doctor determines the primary disease and initiates appropriate treatment steps. Nausea as an acute symptom can also be treated with medication.
Treatment
If the medical examination reveals that the nausea is a side effect of a medication, the doctor will look for a better alternative. Again, there are various drugs available for the treatment of nausea.
An important measure for nausea with vomiting is to maintain a stable fluid balance. Try to drink enough. Lots of fresh air can help to improve the situation.
Prevention
You can avoid nausea caused by external factors by:
Avoid spoiled or incompatible foods.
do not eat too much.
deal with mentally stressful situations.
do not consume alcohol or drugs.
In the event of difficulties in vehicles, adopt the most stable position (e.g.
e.g. as far forward as possible in a bus, in the middle of a ship, looking towards the
horizon).
Unfortunately, it is not possible to take general precautions against hormonal or drug-induced nausea.
If the cause of the nausea is known and a short course is to be expected, you can sit out the malaise. After three days at the latest, everything should be fine again. If the nausea is accompanied by diarrhea, possibly bloody vomiting and loss of fluids, consult your family doctor immediately. If you have circulatory problems and a fever, take the symptoms of nausea seriously. If you suspect poisoning, do not hesitate to go to a doctor’s surgery or callthe poison control center.
Questions and answers
How can I recognize nausea in babies?
Babies and toddlers do not yet articulate discomfort. Lethargy or persistent crying can therefore have numerous causes. However, if the baby sputters and the sputum smells sour, it is vomit. Seek medical help!
Which side should I lie on if I have nausea?
If you are suffering from acute nausea and want to go to bed, never lie on your stomach. The most comfortable position is with your head slightly elevated and your legs bent. Try to lie as still as possible and avoid violent movements.
