Biography Nausea
| ICD9 = |
}}Nausea (Latin: Nausea, Greek: , "sea-sickness") is the sensation of
unease and discomfort in the stomach with an urge to vomit.
Causes
Nausea is not a sickness, but rather a symptom of several conditions, many
of which are not related to the stomach. Nausea is often indicative of an
underlying condition elsewhere in the body. Travel sickness, which is due
to confusion between perceived movement and actual movement, is an example.
The sense of equilibrium lies in the ear and works together with eyesight.
When these two don't "agree" to what extent the body is actually moving the
symptom is presented as nausea even though the stomach itself has nothing
to do with the situation. Nausea is also an adverse effect of many drugs.
Nausea may also be an effect of a large intake of sugary foods.
In medicine, nausea can be a problem during some chemotherapy regimens and
following general anaesthesia
