Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Vomiting is an involuntary reflex that expels the contents of the stomach via the mouth, whereas nausea is an unhappy feeling in which the individual feels the want to vomit. Nausea and vomiting can happen individually or simultaneously. Motion sickness, mental stress, indigestion, food poisoning, a high temperature, or overeating are all prevalent reasons. Nausea/vomiting can be a side effect of some treatments, including as chemotherapy and radiation. Controlling vomiting and nausea in cancer patients is critical for carrying out day-to-day tasks. It can cause mental changes, lack of appetite, malnutrition, and dehydration if not managed properly.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): A mucous layer protects the stomach from acid. Excess acid production can cause the mucous layer to dissolve, resulting in issues such as GERD, acidity, and peptic ulcers. When stomach acid rushes back into the food pipe on a regular basis, it is known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (oesophagus). The food pipe is irritated by the backflow (acid reflux), which produces heartburn.

Gastric emptying happens when the stomach takes too long to empty the contents of the stomach into the intestine. Nausea, vomiting, and indigestion may develop as a result of this.
