Nausea with dizziness after eating: what is the reason

After eating, dizziness and nausea may begin. With such symptoms, a person is unlikely to enjoy going to a restaurant or visiting. It is important to know that they can warn about a disease such as dumping syndrome. It occurs due to gastric resection.

When the human body requires food, an active flow of blood occurs to its digestive organs, which is necessary to help the stomach. If the products were difficult to digest, then the small intestine occurs strong pressure, which contributes to nausea and dizziness.

Dumping syndrome occurs in cases where the stomach is not able to fully cope with its work. In addition to nausea and dizziness, the following symptoms are noted:

  • Low pressure;
  • Vomit;
  • Pallor of the skin;
  • Labored breathing;
  • Cold sweat;
  • Heart rhythm disturbance.

This disease is divided into two stages, depending on when its symptoms begin to appear.

Early stage

Symptoms make themselves felt 20-30 minutes after eating, when food begins to be digested prematurely. Such a short period of time is not enough for its complete absorption, so poorly digested food (chyme) enters the intestines. At this time, a person begins to feel slight malaise, weakness and nausea.

If such symptoms occur regularly, this is a reason to consult a doctor. Frequently observed nausea can lead to bulimia, when the stomach refuses to accept food, as well as ulcers and other serious diseases.

With early dumping, dizziness is observed due to the fact that the stomach is not able to cope with the food entering it. Symptoms do not depend on the amount of food and can manifest themselves even after a small cake or sandwich.

In most cases, the doctor prescribes a specific diet that excludes poorly digestible foods, especially in large quantities ( flour products, nuts, sweets, etc.).

Late stage

In this case, the main symptoms appear 2-3 hours after eating. Nausea and dizziness are often accompanied by:

  • An unreasonable feeling of hunger, even after a recent meal.
  • Protruding cold sweat.
  • Pre-fainting state.
  • Redness skin(most often the face area).
  • Deterioration of vision.
  • Decrease in the amount of glucose in the blood.
  • General weakness.
  • Rumbling in the stomach.

Such symptoms, which are permanent, require immediate appeal to specialists. In particular, consultation with a neurologist and gastroenterologist is necessary.

What can be done

If a doctor diagnoses dumping syndrome, a number of measures are taken to get rid of the disease:

  1. Following a special diet.
  2. Rest after eating.
  3. For nausea and dizziness, the following may be prescribed: Immodium, Motilium and other similar drugs.
  4. When bright severe symptoms Novocaine may be required before meals.
  5. In some cases, a blood transfusion is necessary.

IN in rare cases are appointed surgical methods treatment. They may be required if ultrasound revealed intestinal pathologies that provoke an increase in osmotic pressure.

If you suspect gastritis or a stomach ulcer, you must adhere to a strict diet and get an appointment with a gastroenterologist as early as possible. The doctor will prescribe a number of examinations: gastroscopy, blood tests, ultrasound, etc. If a diagnosis is made in a timely manner and treatment is prescribed, then you can get rid of this diagnosis in a fairly short period of time. Timely diagnosis plays an important role here.

In case of pathological changes in the bile ducts and gallbladder, medical assistance is also necessary. Before the doctors arrive, you can only organize fractional meals. The main way to make a diagnosis is ultrasound. If the examination results reveal stones, it will most likely be necessary to perform surgical intervention.

If there is a clear feeling of nausea, which is accompanied by circular pain in the abdominal area, the doctor may suspect the presence of pancreatitis. If the diagnosis is confirmed, an outpatient or hospital treatment. In most cases, it is necessary to break down and ferment foods, adhere to a strict diet, and also take anti-inflammatory medications.

It is not recommended to take any measures on your own. It is strictly forbidden to warm the stomach or self-treat with folk remedies. Such actions not only will not help get rid of pancreatitis, but can also aggravate its current condition. The maximum that can be done independently in this case is bed rest, cool atmosphere and minimal food consumption.

If you have appendicitis, it is important to seek medical help immediately. Before the ambulance arrives, it is forbidden to take painkillers, which will only lubricate clinical picture and make diagnosis difficult. If possible, it is advisable to minimize fluid and food intake.

If the body is intoxicated, you can help it by inducing vomiting. This can be done by drinking plenty of water. Doctors also recommend taking Activated carbon or other adsorbent preparations. Calling an ambulance is necessary in case of continuous vomiting for 2-3 hours.

From problems with vestibular apparatus can be eliminated through special training and treatment by a neurologist. Medications You can relieve nausea and dizziness. Hypertension (nausea after eating) can only be treated under the guidance of a doctor. The drugs are prescribed only by a doctor, possibly with lifelong use.

Pathologies in the field of cardiology are the most dangerous causes. If there is even the slightest risk of heart failure (nausea, pale skin, painful sensations on the left side of the body), then it is necessary to call an ambulance as soon as possible.

Diseases endocrine system also without medical care are not treated. When diagnosed with hypothyroidism, it is necessary to take special medications which will regulate hormonal balance.

Any pathology in the kidney area that is accompanied by nausea requires consultation with a urologist. Upon completion of the diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications or surgery. You can independently protect yourself from spicy and salty foods, and also observe bed rest.

Video: why do you feel sick after eating?

Nausea is a reaction that occurs due to irritation of the digestive system. The part of the brain that is responsible for the vomiting process receives a signal about unwanted food or microbes, and immediately, at the behest, activates salivary glands. At the same time, the esophagus begins to contract vigorously. In this way, the body creates conditions for cleansing the stomach and curbs appetite.

6 main reasons why a person experiences nausea

Vomiting and nausea are not always a simple protective reaction of the digestive system. Their appearance is also connected, perhaps:
  1. With balance in the center of the inner ear. For example, when motion sickness occurs, the fluid in the inner ear fluctuates in rhythm with external swaying, and human eyes focused on only one object. This imbalance of signals encourages the formation of stress hormones, which cause muscle contraction of the stomach and ultimately nausea.

  2. Head pain during migraine attacks also leads to vomiting and nausea, which can be associated with a signal imbalance in the autonomic system.

  3. Powerful stress and bad smell, also generate a hormonal release of adrenaline, which stimulates muscle contraction.

  4. Changing hormone levels in the first three months of pregnancy are the main cause of morning sickness.

  5. Frequent attacks of nausea are a sign of severe diseases of the digestive system, gallstones, gastroenteritis, and colitis, and at the same time it is also accompanied by other symptoms and pain.

  6. At heart attack you can also feel a vomiting attack.

Other causes of nausea

Nausea has a huge number of causes. They may be abstract, say nausea caused emotional disorders . But they can also exist absolutely specific and concrete, in particular in the first 3 months pregnant. Nausea often precedes vomiting. You could even say that vomiting is a common ending to nausea.

There is nausea, with or without vomiting, with Meniere's disease- common ear diseases, seasickness, migraine, painful menstruation, headache, ovarian cyst, menopause. Nausea may be the body's reaction to massive drug therapy.

After eating, nausea can occur due to most diseases. After eating, nausea appears as a result of some kind of gastric disease, with the presence of heartburn and abdominal pain. If there are liver problems or gallbladder , nausea occurs even when eating with a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, as well as pain in the hypochondrium area with right side. An intestinal infection is usually detected as the cause of nausea approximately 1 hour after eating, and hypothyroidism causes unpleasant constant feelings, both before and after meals.

The most common and simplest explanation for nausea is what you ate the day before. poor quality or expired food. In this case, such a reaction of the body is protective, in which a signal about poor quality food is sent to the part of the brain responsible for the vomiting process, and the salivary glands are activated.

When such a signal enters the brain, the esophagus begins to shrink. And the body creates conditions under which the stomach could be cleansed.

Stomach problems. Most people suffer functional diseases stomach. This means that the stomach is performing its own functions incorrectly. A striking example similar disease- impaired gastric motility. With such a pathology, he becomes overly sensitive. If you eat something smoked, spicy, or fatty, nausea begins almost immediately. Increase of this disease Systematic lack of sleep, fatigue and irregular nutrition may contribute. There is another disease when the stomach does not respond to food. It is called gastric atony. This is his too functional impairment. What needs to be done? In such cases, it is better to take medications that normalize peristalsis - Cerucal, Motilium. If attacks recur after eating, you should urgently contact a gastroenterologist.

The culprits may also be medicines that a person takes. Many medications can be irritants to gastric tract. For example, painkillers can cause nausea. The possibility of nausea increases with increasing doses of painkillers used. Medicines containing iron and hormonal contraceptives can also irritate the stomach.

A woman during pregnancy There is a period when she can feel sick from anything - for example, from her favorite perfume or the smell of spices. Everyone knows about possible early toxicosis; most await its first manifestations with horror. But sometimes pregnancy proceeds without nausea. What determines whether there is nausea or not? Why do women even suffer from toxicosis?

There are several possible answers. For example, our grandmothers claim that, according to observations, if a boy is expected, then he feels more sick. However, the day of birth comes, and this sign comes true exactly the opposite.

The situation is much more serious with the theories of scientists - they are based on the facts of research, all kinds of surveys and tests. Very interesting points Scientists from Canada have found that the babies of mothers who experienced toxicosis during pregnancy eventually become intellectuals. From the point of view of researchers, nausea is caused by hormones that can have a positive effect on the development of intelligence in a child. Most scientists believe that the appearance of nausea is closely related to the protection of the growing fetus from negative substances that enter the baby’s body through the food consumed by the mother.


Because, in the first months of pregnancy, the main organs and systems of the baby are formed, and through toxicosis, the mother’s body is protected from miscarriage. But the most potential cause is an increase in a woman's hormonal levels during pregnancy. Emotional stress and anxiety, by the way, only increase these phenomena. Vomiting and nausea are reduced hormonal levels, which the child does not need, rejecting everything useless and leaving only the most necessary.

Why do people feel sick while riding in public transport?

Ability to walk straight, maintain balance in any position and with eyes closed including thanks to the vestibular apparatus. An important component of this apparatus is a part of the inner ear called the cochlea. It contains microscopic otolith crystals, and inner surface covered with receptors that send signals in the form of nerve impulses to certain parts of the brain. Minor change in position human body causes a shift of crystals with activation of neighboring receptors, due to which the brain receives a message about a change in position. The movement of otoliths is similar to the pouring of sand into a clock bulb.

While riding in transport, quite complex movements of a person in space are carried out. Therefore, such phenomena can cause nausea an hour after eating. Motion sickness is a physiological reaction healthy body. This reaction is due genetic characteristics. Heat, along with stuffiness, strong odors in transport, tobacco smoke, alcohol and large meals before travel only increase the risk of nausea. A slice of lemon, which should be held behind the cheek, will help to overcome such an attack; it is also recommended to switch attention, hold breathing exercises and fix your gaze on a stationary object.

Most common reason nausea after eating in men - overeating.

Binge eating

Fatty, and at the same time low-quality, but plentiful food can create increased stress on digestive organs. But the secretory capabilities of the stomach and intestines have their limits. Excessive amounts of food mass can lead to a deficiency of enzymes that are necessary for complete digestion and absorption. This can lead to stagnation in digestive system, and in addition, to increase intra-abdominal pressure. At the same time, compression of the organs significantly complicates motor skills, limiting the mobility of the diaphragm with the processes of external respiration.

Thus, congestion can cause self-poisoning of the body along with belching, nausea, vomiting and a feeling of heaviness. This also increases the likelihood of reflux, for example, the reverse movement of eaten food.

The causes of nausea after eating do not vary much among women. But there are some situations when nausea occurs specifically in the fair sex.

For example, when pregnancy becomes the cause of nausea after eating.

This is considered an absolutely normal physiological phenomenon.

The main reasons for this phenomenon during pregnancy:

  • Progesterone is intensively produced.
  • Prolactin and human chorionic gonadotropin are also produced in large quantities.
  • Suffering gastrointestinal tract.
  • Vitamin B6 enters the body in insufficient quantities.
  • Acidity in the stomach is increased.

Thus, the woman’s body is completely rebuilt to bear a child.

Treatment methods: how to get rid of nausea that occurs after eating

Deep and at the same time slow breathing along with leisurely walking will help stop nausea. fresh air. Physical activity helps to further stimulate gastric peristalsis and promotes the movement of food mass into the underlying sections of the digestive system.

A slice of lemon along with sour candy and a piece of ginger stimulates the taste buds, helping to relieve gagging. But drinking plenty of fluids will not bring any relief, but, on the contrary, will provoke nausea with vomiting.

The causes of heaviness and nausea after eating should be determined by a doctor.
