Symptom #2: Nausea

Nausea is described as an uncomfortable and unpleasant sensation where the affected individual has an urge to vomit. Prolonged nausea can become debilitating as it causes discomfort in the upper abdomen, chest, and back of the throat. Nausea is a way the body uses to discourage the person from repeating whatever has caused the unpleasant sensation. The memory of nausea can be very powerful as it can cause revulsion towards whatever has caused the previous bout of nausea.

It is a non-specific symptom that can be seen in migraines, dizziness, motion sickness, hypoglycemia, gastroenteritis, food poisoning, pregnancy, depression, and more. Prevention and treatment of nausea involves the use of antiemetics such as promethazine, ondansetron, and metoclopramide. In rhabdomyolysis, the release of muscle tissue components causes electrolyte disturbances that contributes to nausea.
