1 of 15Nausea is an uncomfortable sensation that often precedes vomiting. It can range from a mild feeling of food rising in the throat to severe cases with diaphragm contractions and regurgitation. Nausea is a non-specific symptom, which means that it occurs in the course of many diseases and conditions – both serious and harmless to health.
In the conditions mentioned (except pregnancy), nausea fades within 24 hours, and the prognosis for recovery and relief of signs is good. On the other hand, among the relatively dangerous diseases that can manifest themselves with nausea, it is worth mentioning pancreatitis.
First of all, the cause of nausea should be sought among those that occur frequently and are not dangerous. Potential causes should also be differentiated depending on the patient’s age. To differentiate, it is essential to pay attention to the co-occurrence of other dangerous symptoms.
