Nausea
It is not uncommon for someone to feel nauseous after fainting. It's part of the vagal activation, which can make people feel drained for a while after passing out. Nausea shouldn't be confused with vomiting. Nausea is feeling the urge to vomit.
Sometimes referred to as being sick to the stomach, nausea usually occurs prior to dry heaving or vomiting. However, not everyone who experiences nausea will vomit, as a person can be nauseous without vomiting.
