10. Medications
Many medications have side effects. Nausea is a common adverse reaction to both over-the-counter and prescription medications. For example, antibiotics, aspirin, certain blood pressure drugs and NSAIDs can cause a queasy feeling in the stomach.
To reduce nausea and stomach upset, try eating before taking the medication. Even a few crackers may provide relief. If the side effect continues or interferes with everyday functioning, patients should contact their physician for further treatment.11Publishing, Harvard Health. ‘What to Do When Your Medication Causes Nausea.’ Harvard Health, www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/what-to-do-when-your-medication-causes-nausea.
