Nausea & Vomiting Treatment in Oklahoma City, OK

Nausea and vomiting are related, but not exactly the same thing. Generally, nausea occurs before you vomit. It’s uncommon for you to vomit without already feeling nausea, although it is known to happen in some situations. When you feel nausea, you generally do not feel comfortable and feel unsettled in your stomach area. When you vomit, your stomach’s contents are pushed up through your digestive tract and out of your mouth.

Acute nausea can be associated with many conditions, including injuries, infections, and illnesses. For example, it isn’t uncommon to feel nausea from the stomach flu or as a symptom of a concussion. It will usually go away as the medical condition is adequately treated. If you have lingering or frequent bouts of nausea, this could be connected to a chronic health condition.

Vomiting is also connected to many of the same illnesses, injuries, and infections that cause nausea. The flu or food poisoning are frequently the culprits when someone suffers from vomiting. While these conditions are very well understood and treatable, vomiting is also associated with less understood things like morning sickness.
