10 Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
Symptom #7: Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea is referred to as an uncomfortable and unpleasant sensation where there is an urge to vomit. Although it is not painful, nausea can be debilitating as it causes discomfort in the abdomen, throat, and chest. It is nature’s way of discouraging the person from repeating whatever has triggered the unpleasant sensation.
Vomiting is defined as the involuntary and forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the nose and mouth. Both nausea and vomiting can occur in conditions such as gastritis, food poisoning, motion sickness, increased intracranial pressure, and more. Both nausea and vomiting are symptoms from local compression caused by an aortic aneurysm. Generally, nausea and vomiting can be managed using anti-emetics such as ondansetron, promethazine, and metoclopramide.
