Nausea
Nausea is a prevalent symptom for those suffering from acid reflux. As a general symptom, it simply means you feel discomfort around the stomach. People can also experience it from various other stomach and digestive conditions. For those suffering from acid reflux, nausea comes from the disruption of their digestion. Since acid reflux means the stomach’s contents are spilling out into the mouth, it makes the stomach feel bad. It also doesn’t help that the stomach acids in the esophagus make swallowing harder and can lead to coughing. Hard coughing, especially with a full stomach, can be very uncomfortable.
Acid reflux can also mean that the acids in the gut are working too hard to make up for the loss of its contents. Higher acidity can mean more discomfort for the patient. Treatment for nausea depends on its underlying cause. For those suffering from acid reflux, taking antacids and pain medication will help a lot. Additional recommendations also include hydrating to ease stomach pains.
