Nausea

Nausea is defined as the feeling of sickness in the stomach which causes an individual to feel as if they are going to vomit, however this does not always lead to vomiting. Medical professionals have classified this as a non-specific symptom as there may be multiple causes an individual may feel nauseated.

Most often, acute nausea is typically harmless, however when chronic nausea is present, this could be a sign of a more severe problem or permanent injury. In the case where nausea causes severe vomiting, this may lead to electrolyte imbalances and dehydration, which on rare occasions may cause death.

At Gordon & Partners, our personal injury attorneys believe that if you or a member of your family is suffering from nausea as a result of the negligent actions of another individual or entity, the victim may be entitled to compensation for all losses and damages including; medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of wages, and pain and suffering.

Nausea Prevention Methods

Many times, there is not much we can do to prevent nausea from occurring, especially in cases where the nausea is related to specific ailments like cancer or motion sickness. Of course, in other cases, there are precautions we can take to prevent nausea from occurring.

Some common nausea prevention methods include:

• Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages
• Consume smaller meals
• Drink fluids in between meals

In most cases, these nausea prevention techniques will assist in reducing or eliminating nausea from occurring. Of course, in other cases, it may be impossible to prevent nausea if the nausea is associated with cancers and pregnancy.

Nausea Treatment Methods

After an individual has been stricken with nausea, there are several treatment methods which can be used to help ease or eliminate the nausea. In addition, a doctor can prescribe individuals suffering from chronic nausea with certain medications to ease these feelings.
