Nausea – Causes and Treatment

Nausea is an unpleasant condition that comes with the feeling of disgust and vomiting.

Alcohol, heavy foods, smoking and strong smells will only intensify the nausea.

How to get rid of that awful situation and as soon again be in top – shape?

Every single one of us has feel nauseated sometimes. It occurs after every glass of drink which you shouldn’t had, too fatty and very spicy meal, crowds of cigarettes that you had one after another. Sometimes this is a weakness in the stomach, once a serious sickness and sometimes a feeling of unease.

We all know that uncomfortable feeling that rises from the stomach to the throat and stimulates the urge to vomit, but the cause of the sickness is not at all the same for everyone. This can occur as a consequence of the sensitivity of the stomach, to be a sign of a serious problem or maybe you are just feeling sick because of the thought that tomorrow you have to go to work again. 🙂

Chemical changes in the body can initiate the stimuli that cause nausea but also many other factors, such as sickness (motion sickness, commonly known as sea sickness), emotional problems or some unpleasant odors. For some, only the sight of blood and the content of vomiting can cause bad feeling, to others this not seem to mind but instead they can not think of eating a meal of some spicy gourmet delight.

Nausea can be cause by proliferation of the stomach after a meal replete – remember that, the next time you sit at the party table, trying to taste everything that it holds. 🙂
