Nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are upsetting symptoms that can have a big impact on your well-being. They often happen together, but not always. Nausea is an upset or queasy stomach that makes you feel like you may throw up (vomit). Vomiting is 'throwing-up' the food and liquid in your stomach through your mouth.
