Nausea is feeling the urge to vomit. It is often called “being sick to your stomach.” Vomiting or throwing up is forcing the contents of the stomach up through the food pipe (oesophagus) and out of the mouth.
These symptoms can be mild or severe. Mild nausea and vomiting can be uncomfortable but does not usually harm your health. Vomiting a lot can cause other health problems, such as dehydration, weight loss, and fatigue.
