3. Panic Attack or Anxiety
A severe panic attack or anxiety can cause nausea. Chest pain, difficulty sleeping, rapid pulse, shaking and chills may also occur. Different types of anxiety include generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
To reduce or stop nausea from panic attacks and anxious feelings, it’s essential to treat the cause of the mental health conditions. People experiencing anxiety and panic attacks should speak with a medical professional.4University Health Service.
