Why patient feel nausea and vomit in gastric ulcer?

Patients with gastric ulcers may experience nausea and vomiting due to irritation of the stomach lining and increased gastric acid production. The ulcer can lead to inflammation, which stimulates the vagus nerve and triggers the vomiting reflex. Additionally, if the ulcer causes gastric obstruction or delays gastric emptying, it can result in the accumulation of stomach contents, further contributing to feelings of nausea. Pain and discomfort associated with the ulcer can also exacerbate these symptoms.
