The feeling of nausea in the morning occurs for various reasons. This may be a manifestation of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract or other organs, and in women of reproductive age - the onset of pregnancy. As a rule, this condition causes concern, in connection with which the question arises - why does one feel sick in the morning on an empty stomach?

If such a feeling arises daily and becomes painful, spoils the mood and knocks out of the working rhythm, it is necessary to identify its causes and try to get rid of this problem.

The onset of nausea occurs when the celiac and vagus nerves are irritated, which reflexively transmit information to the brain. In this case, a person may experience increased salivation, general weakness, as well as a rapid heart rate. There are several types of nausea, depending on the underlying cause.

• Reflex nausea occurs due to irritation of receptors during inflammatory processes of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract - this can be gastritis, stomach ulcer, etc. Due to problems with the gastrointestinal tract, nausea most often appears after eating and can be accompanied by pain in the hypochondrium, bloating and colic.
  This type of nausea can also have psychogenic causes, such as the unpleasant appearance of objects or specific odors. Such manifestations are typical for people suffering from neuroses, and can occur in the morning due to overwork or stress experienced the day before, as well as excessive excitement.
• Cerebral nausea. It occurs due to damage to the brain as a result of concussions, tumors, hypertension, atherosclerosis, etc. This type of nausea can occur both in the morning and throughout the day.
• Vestibular nausea - this is the reaction of the vestibular apparatus when changing the position of the body, for example, when getting out of bed, turning, bending, etc. This type of nausea is often accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus and colored circles in the eyes, loss of balance, inability to focus on a particular subject.
  Vestibular nausea can also occur when traveling by car or taking a boat trip.
  This type of nausea is common in women during pregnancy and menopause.

• Toxic nausea can occur in the morning if a person is taking strong medications. It also occurs after eating poor-quality or stale food, as well as against the background of infectious intoxication. Such a reaction can occur as a result of the release of toxic substances into the body by one of the organs, for example, with radiation sickness, renal failure and the like. These substances are able to affect the trigger zones and the vomiting center, which also causes morning nausea.

To determine the pathology due to which the appearance of morning sickness is possible, it is necessary to know the symptoms accompanying certain diseases.

Half of pregnant women are tested for toxicosis, in which morning sickness occurs - this is the adaptation of the body to new conditions for it. This condition is characteristic of the early stages, but in some cases it can continue throughout the entire period of waiting for the child.

During pregnancy, toxicosis is provoked by hormones such as estrogen, thyroxine, and hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), the concentration of which increases significantly during this period.

Usually, by 12-14 weeks, the body adapts to pregnancy and the condition returns to normal.

If a woman is expecting the birth of twins, hormones are produced more intensively, which can increase toxicosis.

Toxicosis is usually not a process that threatens the health of the expectant mother. However, if nausea, accompanied by vomiting, takes on a pathological character that does not allow food to be taken, then the doctor usually recommends inpatient observation, where the patient is prescribed restorative and antiemetic funds.

In order to avoid negative consequences, you should not choose medicines and herbal teas on your own - all the means that a woman takes during this period should be discussed with a doctor.

In addition, the doctor will perform the following diagnostic procedures:

• examining the whites of the eyes to make sure the patient is free of symptoms of hepatitis;
• check the level of fluid in the body;
• palpates the abdomen;
• will measure the pressure;
• will prescribe an analysis for carbohydrate balance and histamine concentration.

If morning sickness that occurs before a meal is not a constant phenomenon, but occurs periodically, you can try to cope with it in folk ways:

If the candy does not help, then instead of it you can take Aeron, Anestezin or Validol, if there are no contraindications for taking them. For example, they are not recommended for acute or chronic pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as during pregnancy;
• a decoction of ginger root well relieves the feeling of nausea, if you take one glass of this drug in the morning.

To achieve the desired effect, you need to drink the tincture in small sips for three to five minutes. If there is not enough time in the morning, then the medicine can be prepared in the evening;

If nausea takes on a pathological nature, then you should consult a doctor. A specialist can recommend anti-nausea and antiemetic drugs, which include Maalox, Milanta, Pepto-Bismol. "Phosphalugel" and "Cimetidine" neutralize pain in the gastrointestinal tract, and "Festal" and "Panzinorm" normalize the work of the pancreas and improve digestion.

For chronic stomach ulcers, the doctor may prescribe a set of drugs that will combine antibiotics and antisecretory agents.

Nausea in the morning is the body's reaction to disruption of the digestive tract. In order to avoid the development of pathological processes and deterioration of the condition, it is important to find the root cause of the onset of unpleasant sensations and begin to eliminate it in time.
