Best Answer

Sometimes nausea during migraines is brought up directly by the pain.

However, one of the major causes of migraine-related nausea is gastroparesis. Gastroparesis is when the forward motion of your digestion tract slows or stops. During this, the stomach is not emptying correctly - causing nausea.

Gastroparesis is the most likely cause of cyclical vomiting (every hour on the hour) during migraines.

In cases where a migraineur experiences severe gastroparesis, they may need to opt to take abortive medications as injections, nasal sprays, or in sublingual forms. They may also need to take medications such as Reglan or Compazine to stop nausea and vomiting, and to promote gastric emptying.
