A member asked:

Because illness symptoms vary, is it possible for a person to only experience nausea from like gastro and never get vomiting from it?

Dr. Hiroshi Mashimo answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Yes; cause important: Possible to get nausea without vomit but understanding underlying cause is important - viral infection, pregnancy, liver and gall bladder disease should be ruled out if recurrent. Suggest pregnancy test if applicable, and see doc if persistent >5days without improvement
