What is Nausea?
Nausea is an unsettling sensation of discomfort in the stomach, often characterized by an urge to vomit. It can be triggered by a variety of factors, including motion sickness, pregnancy, food poisoning, or even intense emotions like anxiety or disgust. The sensation might be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, or an increased heart rate.
While nausea is typically a temporary condition, it can significantly disrupt daily activities, making rest or medication necessary for relief. Hydration and avoiding triggers are common recommendations for managing this uncomfortable feeling, although in some cases, nausea might signal an underlying health issue requiring medical attention.
