How do you stop nausua?
Drink lots of water and rest for a while ! ---- Opinion only: Nausea is a feeling of sickness in the stomach characterized by an urge to vomit. Nausea and vomiting aren't normally medical conditions themselves; but are commonly symptoms of a disorder or illness. Nausea can be triggered by ingesting a toxin or poison (e.g., alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or food poisoning); by an inflammation of the stomach lining, or by a bowel obstruction. It may also occur in diseases that delay the emptying of the stomach, such as diabetes. Injuries to the head, such as concussions, often lead to vomiting. Psychological factors may provoke vomiting in situations that are frightening or in some way horrifying or repulsive. People with motion sickness or other conditions of the vestibular (balance) system experience nausea and vomiting as a result of certain types of movement (e.g., travelling in a car or airplane). Nausea during the first three months of pregnancy is not uncommon. If you vomit or feel the urge to vomit for a prolonged period of time, you should seek medical attention. If you vomit anything other than the contents of your stomach (fluids and partially digested food), or produce vomit that contains blood or something you think is odd or strange, see a medical doctor without undue delay. In most simple cases of vomiting, it will stop on its own once the contents of the stomach have been expelled. This only takes a few minutes, but you can still feel nausea and keep retching after your stomach has emptied. Taking anti-nausea medications for a prolonged period of time is not recommended, and they shouldn't be taken during any stage of pregnancy without first consulting a physician. Anti-nausea and antiemetic drugs are available over-the-counter or by prescription. One's pharmacist is qualified to provide a proper course of action depending on one's condition.
