Side Effect #6: Nausea
Nausea refers to the unpleasant and uncomfortable sensation where there is an urge to vomit. While it may not be painful, it can be a debilitating symptom as it places discomfort on the back of the throat, chest, and upper abdomen.
Nausea is a vague and common symptom seen in various conditions such as motion sickness, migraine, dizziness, low blood sugar, fainting, gastroenteritis, and food poisoning. It is also a side effect of many medications like chemotherapeutic agents, antibiotics, and beta blockers. Nausea can be managed using antiemetics such as ondansetron, promethazine, and metoclopramide.
