2. Chronic Nausea: The Unshakable Discomfort
Chronic nausea is not your garden-variety morning sickness or motion sickness. We’re talking about nausea that sets in and decides it’s going to set up shop. Think of it like a broken record that keeps playing the same annoying tune, disrupting your peace and flipping your life upside-down.
Unlike those fleeting moments of nausea we all face, this is a stubborn beast. It’s that constant unease that makes even the idea of food repellant. And yes, it has a direct impact on your ability to function. You’re dodging social gatherings, saying no to dining out, and perhaps even neglecting tasks that need concentration. That is how life-altering chronic nausea can be.
The science behind it is equally vexing. The stomach is sluggish, so it can’t process food at its usual pace. This leaves your stomach filled for longer periods than it should be, triggering that nausea. Your digestive system is essentially going haywire, and nausea is its way of alerting you. (2)
