Common triggers for nausea
Nausea has many possible causes. These are some of the most frequently reported triggers, your consultation will help identify what might be behind yours.

Stress or anxiety
Certain foods or strong smells
Side effects of medication
Pregnancy (morning sickness)
When to seek urgent help
Occasional nausea is common and often settles on its own, but some situations need prompt medical attention. See a GP or call NHS 111 if nausea persists for more than a few days, if you can't keep fluids down and show signs of dehydration, or if it's accompanied by unexplained weight loss or ongoing loss of appetite. Seek urgent medical attention or go to A&E if you have severe abdominal pain, vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, a sudden severe headache or stiff neck, chest pain, confusion, or if nausea follows a head injury. If you're pregnant and unable to keep any food or fluids down, contact your midwife or GP promptly.
FAQs
Nausea can be triggered by many things, including digestive upset, migraine, motion sickness, anxiety, certain medications, infections, and pregnancy. Your consultation will help narrow down likely causes.
This depends on the cause and the specific treatment. Your clinician will advise on what's appropriate and for how long, based on your circumstances.
Yes, anxiety and stress commonly trigger nausea and other digestive symptoms via the gut-brain connection.
Small, frequent meals, staying hydrated with small sips of fluid, fresh air, and avoiding strong smells or trigger foods can all help. Your clinician may suggest other measures based on the likely cause.
Mild morning sickness is common, but persistent vomiting that stops you keeping fluids down needs prompt review by your midwife or GP, as this may be a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum.
A sudden, severe headache with nausea, especially with a stiff neck, visual changes or confusion, needs urgent medical attention, as it could indicate a more serious condition.
If nausea persists for more than a few days without improvement, or keeps coming back, it's worth getting assessed rather than just managing it at home.
