10. Nausea
Nausea is commonly defined as the urge to vomit. It can appear suddenly, but in some cases, it has an insidious onset. It is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions, but it can also be triggered by certain events or things in our surroundings.
In the particular case of constipated patients, as they struggle to have regular bowel movements, this might cause them to accumulate gas in their gastrointestinal tract (GI). This gas will cause them to feel bloated and depending on the amount of gas, it can also cause them to be nauseated from time to time.
