Nausea or Upset Stomach

Q: What is nausea or upset stomach?

Nausea or upset stomach describes a spectrum from mild abdominal discomfort and queasiness to persistent nausea affecting daily function. It is one of the most common digestive complaints, arising from a wide range of triggers: dietary excess, alcohol, acid reflux, stress and anxiety (through the gut-brain axis), medications, early pregnancy, viral illness, food intolerances, and functional dyspepsia. The gut contains more serotonin receptors than any other organ, making it exquisitely sensitive to emotional and psychological state — nausea frequently precedes or accompanies anxiety, excitement, dread, or significant stress.
