Clinical information about nausea:

The term "nausea" describes the sensation of being sick to your stomach. We experience strange, unsettling, and unnerving feelings in the stomach and the back of our throats that make us feel lightheaded, dizzy, unusually disgusted, and, in more severe cases, susceptible to fainting.

You might feel like falling if you're feeling queasy while moving. Even if you know what you're eating is delicious, you might have trouble swallowing it if you're feeling queasy while you're eating.

Even if you don't have anything to throw up, nausea will contribute to the feeling or desire to do so. You might do that if you have anything in your stomach. Vomiting often occurs along with nausea.

As mentioned, nausea is a sign of an underlying illness or issue. Numerous factors, including pregnancy, using certain drugs, excessive alcohol consumption, motion sickness, vertigo, migraines, and even food poisoning, can result in nausea.

Synonyms include:

• Functional nausea
• Nausea
• Nausea present
• Postoperative nausea
• Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
• Decreased nausea and vomiting
• Drug-induced nausea and vomiting
• Increased nausea and vomiting
• Intractable nausea and vomiting
