When prolonged, it is a debilitating symptom.[4] Nausea is a non-specific symptom, which means that it has many possible causes. Some common causes of nausea aremotion sickness, dizziness, migraine, fainting, gastroenteritis (stomach infection) or food poisoning. Nausea is a side effect of many medications including chemotherapy, nauseants or morning sickness in early pregnancy. Nausea may also be caused by anxiety, disgust and depression.
The word nausea is from Greek ναῦς - naus, "ship"; ναυσία started as meaning "seasickness".
