I am not pregnant but I am always nauseous

Many women will have pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, which can cause nausea and vomiting. In fact, nausea and vomiting are not necessarily caused by pregnancy reactions. It may also be caused by eating the wrong things, or by overeating and eating spicy foods every day, which causes gastritis and nausea and vomiting. So why do you always feel nauseous and vomiting even if you are not pregnant? The following is a detailed introduction.

There are several possibilities:

1. Pharyngitis. It usually occurs after waking up in the morning and is more obvious when brushing teeth; there is always a foreign body sensation in the throat. You need to drink more water, talk less, and usually hold some lozenges to keep your throat moist.

2. Gastritis. It is more common in people who have irregular diet, like spicy food, have stressful work and often work late nights. You need to eat regularly and lightly, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest at work. The cause of vomiting and nausea is the stimulation of the vomiting center in the medulla oblongata. Sudden vomiting rarely occurs and is usually preceded by nausea and discomfort.

There are two reasons for vomiting: One is food poisoning, in which vomiting and diarrhea occur at the same time. After the poison is excreted from the body, the patient can recover naturally.

The second is that there is something in the digestive organs that blocks the passage of food, causing the food in the stomach to be vomited out. Before vomiting, there must be severe abdominal pain. When vomiting and abdominal pain occur repeatedly, it may be intestinal obstruction and should not be ignored. In addition, cancer may also cause these symptoms, so you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

If vomiting persists, do not take antiemetics indiscriminately; take them only according to the doctor's prescription.

When vomiting is caused by overeating or food poisoning, it is not advisable to stop vomiting. The active approach is to try to vomit out. If vomiting cannot be done, salt water can be used to induce vomiting.

After vomiting, it is important to keep the environment quiet. On the other hand, since vomiting consumes a lot of physical energy, people with weak bodies will be more likely to catch other diseases such as colds. So start with easy-to-drink soups, milk, etc.; eat more nourishing foods in order to recover your strength as soon as possible.

When vomiting and diarrhea occur together, it is easy to develop symptoms of dehydration, so it is absolutely necessary to replenish water and electrolytes.

Regardless of whether vomiting is accompanied by nausea or not, if you experience severe headache, abdominal pain, dizziness, fever, convulsions, numbness of hands and feet, etc., you must seek medical attention as soon as possible, as it may be cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or acute peritonitis.
