If you are suffering from an anxiety disorder, then the frequent unexplained bouts of nausea are most likely caused by it too. Anxiety triggers a fight-and-flight response in the human body. This extreme emotional state stimulates the central nervous system like the cerebral cortex and the limbic system.
The activated central nervous system goes on to create the sensation of nausea and vomiting. Just because you are suffering from anxiety does not mean that you will experience nausea. People respond differently to anxiety. Nausea is problematic if it occurs frequently and is persistent, and you should consult a physician as soon as possible.
Understanding The Cause Of Nausea
- Nausea is a natural reaction when the human body feels like something is amiss
- Anxiety affects the gut, the eyes, and many other pathways that can contribute to nausea
- Anxiety can also make you sensitive to “normal” feelings, increasing the severity of feelings that may otherwise have been easy to ignore
- Understanding the role that the fight or flight and serotonin play in both anxiety and nausea can help decrease worry when feeling nauseated
- There are strategies that can decrease the feeling of nausea, but ultimately the only way to prevent it is to address anxiety
