How to recognize nausea

Nausea is an uncomfortable feeling associated with the need to vomit. Symptoms are accompanied by: pallor of the skin, slight weakness, dizziness, palpitations, sweating. An attack of lightheadedness is the result of afferent stimulation (associated with increased tension of the parasympathetic system, transmitted to the center of vomiting in the core), often preceding vomiting.

Vomiting is the emptying of the stomach through an uncontrolled contraction of the diaphragm. A person has a gag reflex, which causes the diaphragm to contract. For a person to vomit, a chain must work: stimulus - signal of receptors - nerve center of the brain. An irritant can be a heavy dinner (overeating), experiencing stress, and strong odors.

Causes

The causes of malaise are diseases of the digestive, nervous system of a person, toxicosis of women during pregnancy. It is not worthwhile to independently figure out why sudden sharp nausea occurs - time is wasted, the patient's condition is aggravated. It is important to seek medical attention immediately.

Disease of the digestive system

Evening, nighttime nausea with subsequent vomiting is aimed at emptying the stomach, the reason lies in non-compliance with the diet (attacks appear after eating), poisoning. It can signal the presence of diseases of the digestive system. If a person suffers from gastritis, has a spasm, a stomach ulcer, vomits after eating excessively acidic food in the late afternoon (digestion processes decrease), with an exacerbation of the disease. In the latter case, the symptom is accompanied by pain in the stomach, heartburn, and disappears with exacerbation.

Liver disease provokes vomiting. If a person is not worried about pain in the area of ​​the organ, but the appetite is lost, bitterness is felt in the mouth, the color of the skin has changed, the liver should be checked.

Renal failure, kidney cancer, and gallbladder disease can manifest through a feeling of lightheadedness, urine darkens, feces become discolored. If a blunt trauma to the lower back is received, blood will rush to the site of the injury, squeezing of tissues will occur - the person begins to vomit.

Central nervous system disease

Feelings of lightheadedness in the middle of the night occur with violations of the cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous systems.

The patient is weakened, experiencing headaches, other symptoms, including lightheadedness.
