Nausea Q&A
What is it like to experience nausea?
Nausea is difficult to explain but impossible to ignore once it develops. Many people liken the feeling to a queasy or upset stomach. You might also notice dizziness, lightheadedness, or problems swallowing.
Many times, nausea will lead to vomiting, but that isn’t always the case. You can experience nausea for an extended period of time without having to empty your stomach.
Nausea isn’t a medical condition in and of itself but is a sign or symptom of another condition. Some of the root causes of nausea include:
- Pregnancy
- Migraines
- Motion sickness
- Indigestion
- Food poisoning
- Vertigo
Nausea can also develop as a result of certain medications or medical treatments.
How does infusion therapy help with nausea?
Intravenous (IV) hydration, or infusion therapy, delivers an almost instant hydration boost, helping restore optimal hydration levels without your bloodstream. If dehydration was partly to blame for your nausea, an infusion can help address the issue right away.
Infusions also provide a boost of electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. Addressing deficiencies in your nutrition can help you feel better overall, including reducing nausea.
Some people report immediate improvements, while for others, the results don’t take full effect for a few hours after treatment sessions.
I don’t like needles. Is IV vitamin therapy a painful process?
In the hands of a skilled and experienced medical professional like the team members at Boost Hydro, IV vitamin therapy is not a painful process. You might feel a slight pinch as the needle enters your skin, but your practitioner places the IV tubing in just seconds and secures the assembly with a small piece of surgical tape.
Your customized IV solution is in a bag attached to the other end of the tubing. The IV allows the solution to enter your blood one drip at a time. It takes about an hour, and you can relax, rest, or even read or listen to music during your session. Removing the IV is painless and over in a couple of seconds, with no lingering discomfort.
When it comes to treating nausea, most people find that any discomfort associated with IV vitamin therapy is far less troubling than the experience of nausea. This treatment offers a fast path toward relief, which begins with booking a visit online or over the phone.
