A member asked:
Is there a way to differentiate between nausea caused by anxiety and nausea caused by something physiological?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: Nausea/vomiting may be gi-related (food poisoning, peptic disease, gastroparesis, due to biliary & pancreatic disease, gas/bloat syndrome, small bowel problems). Consider "central" causes: motion sickness, vertigo, migraine headache, brain problems (some very serious). Also, rule out infection (? Urinary tract), medication side effects, pregnancy, & even reaction to stress. Doc can find & treat.
