2 Diseases of the internal organs

Nausea in the mornings is a very "popular" symptom. There is a group of diseases, which signals about itself such a manifestation. We will not consider poisoning and acute infections, in which nausea is a much less noticeable symptom than temperature and convulsions, and will focus on processes that go unnoticed.

Causes of nausea in the morning can be latent in any internal organ.

1. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract - the most, perhaps, a common culprit that appears morning sickness, after pregnancy and a hangover. Chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer, in addition to nausea, are accompanied by heartburn, pain in the stomach, nausea and heaviness are worse after eating. Weak pulling pain in the abdomen, coupled with a decrease in appetite may be the first signs of appendicitis.
2. Diseases of the liver and kidneys can also be accompanied by morning sickness. If the cause of nausea is the liver, nausea will come with acute pain in the right side of the abdomen. Inflammatory processes in the kidneys give a dull aching pain in the lower back, bring with them problems in urination. Sometimes there is a chill.
