Meaning of "nausea" in English

Nausea is a sensation of unease and discomfort in the stomach, often accompanied by the urge to vomit. It is commonly experienced as a response to certain conditions such as motion sickness, pregnancy, or food poisoning. Additionally, nausea can be caused by psychological factors like anxiety or stress. It is a symptom rather than a disease, often signaling an underlying health issue. While nausea itself is not typically severe, persistent cases may require medical attention to identify and treat the root cause.
