Why am i feeling like vomiting?

Feeling nauseous and wanting to puke your guts out is never a fun experience. You feel dizzy, lightheaded, and weak all at the same time, which makes having an unsettling sensation in your stomach even worse. As someone who has experienced this countless times (thanks food poisoning), I have been interested in figuring out why we sometimes want to blow chunks for no apparent reason. So without further ado, let’s explore why am I feeling like vomiting?

The Basics of Nausea

Before we dive into possible explanations for projectile vomiting and convulsions on the bathroom floor (too graphic?), we need to understand what nausea means.

Nausea can be defined as:

  • A queasy feeling in the stomach that may or may not result in actual vomiting
  • A general discomfort or unease associated with certain environments/situations
  • An unpleasant reaction caused by medications/treatments

It is essential to know that nausea isn’t always an indicator of a severe medical condition; it could also be due to something you ate earlier that day or stress from work.

Common Causes of Vomiting

Below are some common reasons why individuals experience episodes of throwing up repeatedly until their liver comes out (kidding):

Food Poisoning

A top contender when it comes to causing sudden onset abdominal pain followed swiftly by virulent bowel movements is food poisoning. Eating contaminated spoiled food can harbor bacteria such as Salmonella which causes inflammation within the intestinal tract leading ultimately -to diarrhea/vomiting [1].

Acid Reflux / GERD

If you’re finding yourself spewing up mommy’s spaghetti after meals frequently due dull burning sensations rising from your chest/choking while sleeping then acid reflux, aka gastroesophageal reflux disease “GERD,” might explain why. “[IBS] tends develop between periods” says Dr.Herrera [2].

Pregnancy

Congratulations, you might be pregnant! One of the hallmark symptoms of early pregnancy is morning sickness – becoming nauseous, vomiting suddenly and without warning especially foods that you liked prior to your pregnancy. You’re in for a fun (and long) ride.

Stomach Virus

If everyone around you was sporting green oxygen masks and scratching themselves every few seconds , then chances are high that it’s a stomach virus which has got them down with some up-chucking to follow.

Outdated Treatments For Nausea

Ingesting expired oysters isn’t exactly the best remedy for stopping nausea – although it could definitely cause more than “general discomfort.” After all these years we’ve come up with better ways like medications such as vertigo stoppers or ginger supplements, both a form of anti inflammatory helping one feel at ease [3]. Speaking from personal experience: there’s no shame in bringing out your trusted ‘I’m going to hurl’ bucket but taking steps beforehand completely preventable through seeking medical attention ahead of time!

Home Remedies are Your Friends

Home remedies have been used since Ancient Egyptian times when one would complain about ill health due to something they ate or doctors prescribed wrong medication . Though not medically proven; get yourself caffeine free tea mixed specific medicinal herbs including aniseed and chamomile – this will help soothe any upset stomachs during bouts intermittent episodes relief followed by calmness between all out explosions brought forth by illness popping up now again over time[4].

Bringing It All Together

To sum everything up – sometimes we just enjoy feeling sick due trying bizarre things like balancing on our heads while drinking herbal teas containing psychedelic chemicals. However moreso – experiencing nausea / puking can stem various causes ranging from minor issues such stress/ acid reflux syndrome dietary concerns chronic conditions needing close monitoring cardiovascular disease etc.[5]

The key takeaway decision as to whether seek medical attention or keep riding it out lies in knowing your own body well enough and taking steps needed before its too late .

Stay alert, stay safe.
