What all manifestations have in common is <strong>localization in the gastrointestinal area<\/strong>. However, the actual trigger can be located in a completely different part of the body. To put it simply, nausea is <strong>the feeling of imminent vomiting<\/strong>. The vomiting itself is called emesis or vomitus by experts.      <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The medical term for nausea is nausea.

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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/krankheit\/schwindel\/\">dizziness<\/a>    \n\nSuch symptoms can, for example, indicate temporary <strong>functional disorders of the brain<\/strong>. These can be the consequences of alcohol or drug influence, for example. Complaints such as <strong>migraines or inner ear disorders<\/strong> are also conceivable. In addition,<strong><a href=\"en\/illnesses\/fever\/\"> fever<\/a> and sweating are not uncommon with nausea.<\/strong>   \n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<h3>Course<\/h3>\nNausea manifests itself as a symptom of other illnesses or as a separate bodily reaction to isolated key stimuli.

Emptying the stomach often leads to <strong>relief of the symptoms.<\/strong> <\/strong>\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<h3>Diagnosis<\/h3>\nIf the nausea is serious and the stimulus is unclear, consult your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/facharzt\/hausarzt\/\"> family doctor<\/a>. The doctor can first <strong>narrow down the possible causes of the symptoms<\/strong> by asking the patient in detail. They will determine whether\nis more likely to be a trigger induced by the stomach or the brain. The usual examinations include   \n<ul class=\"list_background checkmark_list\">\n \t<li>Blood pressure measurement<\/li>\n \t<li>Blood count<\/li>\n \t<li>Stool and urine examination<\/li>\n \t<li>Allergy tests<\/li>\n \t<li>Physical examination<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf it is suspected that damage to nerves or the brain is causing the nausea, other methods are used to <strong>examine internal organs<\/strong> - for example:\n<ul class=\"list_background checkmark_list\">\n \t<li>Ultrasound examination<\/li>\n \t<li>Gastroscopy<\/li>\n \t<li>X-ray images<\/li>\n \t<li>Computer tomography<\/li>\n \t<li>Electrocardiogram and electroencephalogram<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIn this way, the doctor determines the primary disease and initiates appropriate treatment steps. Nausea as an acute symptom can also be <strong>treated with medication<\/strong>. \n<h3>Treatment<\/h3>\nIf the medical examination reveals that the nausea is a side effect of a medication, the doctor will look for a better alternative.

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!   \n<h4>Which side should I lie on if I have nausea?<\/h4>\nIf 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.  \n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li>https:\/\/www.aerzteblatt.de\/archiv\/139966\/LEITSYMPTOME-Uebelkeit-und-Erbrechen<\/li>\n \t<li>http:\/\/www.vitanet.de\/krankheiten-symptome\/uebelkeit-erbrechen\/ursachen-risikofaktoren<\/li>\n \t<li>https:\/\/www.stada.de\/service-gesundheit\/stadapedia-lexikon\/e\/erbrechen-und-uebelkeit.html<\/li>\n \t<li>https:\/\/www.meine-gesundheit.de\/krankheit\/krankheiten\/uebelkeit<\/li>\n \t<li>https:\/\/www.msdmanuals.com\/de-de\/profi\/p%C3%A4diatrie\/symptome-bei-s%C3%A4uglingen-und-kindern\/%C3%BCbelkeit-und-erbrechen-bei-s%C3%A4uglingen-und-kindern<\/li>\n<\/ul>","_long_content_-_contents":"field_6511483945840","hero_-_posts_-_text__bullet_points":null,"_hero_-_posts_-_text__bullet_points":null,"faq_-_section_is_active":null,"_faq_-_section_is_active":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/behandlungen\/34121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/behandlungen"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/behandlungen"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category_of_treatment","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.teleclinic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/category_of_treatment?post=34121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
