Exercise-induced nausea
Exercise-induced nausea is a sensation of feeling sick or vomiting that can occur after or during intense physical activity. It is a common phenomenon experienced by many individuals, particularly those who engage in high-intensity workouts or endurance sports. The exact cause of exercise-induced nausea is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to a combination of factors including dehydration, low blood sugar, and the body's physiological response to intense physical exertion.

Causes[edit | edit source]
The primary causes of exercise-induced nausea include:
- Dehydration: During intense physical activity, the body loses fluids through sweat. If these fluids are not adequately replaced, it can lead to dehydration, which is a common cause of nausea.
- Low blood sugar: Exercise can cause a drop in blood sugar levels, which can lead to feelings of nausea. This is particularly common in individuals who do not consume enough food before exercising.
- Physiological response: The body's physiological response to intense physical exertion can also contribute to feelings of nausea. This includes the release of certain hormones and changes in blood flow.
Prevention[edit | edit source]
There are several strategies that can be used to prevent exercise-induced nausea, including:
- Hydration: Ensuring adequate hydration before, during, and after exercise can help to prevent dehydration and reduce the risk of nausea.
- Nutrition: Consuming a balanced meal or snack before exercise can help to maintain blood sugar levels and prevent feelings of nausea.
- Pacing: Gradually increasing the intensity and duration of exercise can help the body to adapt and reduce the risk of nausea.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for exercise-induced nausea typically involves addressing the underlying cause. This may include rehydrating, consuming food or a sports drink to raise blood sugar levels, or reducing the intensity of exercise.
