A member asked:
Why does pressure (from waistbands, seat belts, deep breaths, etc.) on my abdomen make me queasy?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
May be IBS, but...: Causes of recurrent lower abdominal discomfort may be identified by first addressing accompanying signs/symptoms so as to localize the organ involved: vaginal discharge or bleeding, alteration in periods, pregnancy risk? Fever, nausea, vomiting, altered stool pattern, blood with stool, tenderness, distension? Painful urination, blood in urine? Recent trauma, herniations? Age? Gender? Risk factors?

I'm not sure about: deep breaths, but tight waistbands or belts may increase abdominal pressure making it difficult for gas/food to move down your GI tract. This could contribute to a sense of nausea. Potentially, stomach acid can back up, or "reflux" causing heartburn and nausea. Some, a few, may experience this much more frequently than most. Nothing needs correcting...just try to avoid those things that aggravate.
