NAUSEA & VOMITING

Overview

Approximately 50% of adults will suffer from episodes of nausea and vomiting at some point in their lives, yet it's often not taken seriously until it severely impacts daily functioning. Experiencing these symptoms means your body is trying to tell you something, whether it's a reaction to certain foods, a side effect of medication, or a symptom of an underlying condition. The impact on both professional and personal life can be significant, affecting overall well-being and productivity.

Many adults endure the discomfort of nausea and vomiting without understanding the cause. Research indicates that this lack of understanding can lead to feelings of frustration, helplessness, and anxiety about their health.
