What causes sudden nausea after surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually Anesthesia: The most common reason for nausea after surgery is the anesthesia. That's why it is important to avoid eating for several hours before hand though in the case of emergency surgery that's not always possible since we never know when an emergency will occur!
