Symptom #2: Nausea
Nausea is a very common, unpleasant symptom caused by many ailments. Factors such as unpleasant odors or receiving shocking news can also bring on nausea, so it’s not necessarily always due to illness. Quite often, but not always, nausea will also lead to vomiting.
Nausea can be quite debilitating and inconvenient for climbing. It may require stopping to rest, or it may become reckless to continue climbing, especially if the symptoms do not pass. Vomiting is also problematic because it affects one’s ability to get the nutrition he or she needs.
