Nausea is a common physical symptom associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which can be a direct physical reaction to a trauma or a chronic issue resulting from the condition. It's considered a physical symptom that can occur during a person's response to a traumatic event or be a long-term physical problem linked to PTSD. Nausea can also be a prospective predictor of developing PTSD symptoms, with higher rates of gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, being linked to PTSD.

Why PTSD Causes Nausea

Physiological Stress Response: When you're triggered by a traumatic memory, your body's "fight-or-flight" system can activate, leading to physical symptoms like nausea, increased heart rate, sweating, and trembling.

Chronic Stress: The long-term effects of trauma and constant stress can impact the digestive system, leading to issues such as nausea, pain, or even other gastrointestinal disorders.

Nervous System Link: The nervous system and the gut are closely connected, and chronic stress from PTSD can disrupt this connection, contributing to symptoms like nausea and other gastrointestinal (GI) complaints.

How to Manage Nausea Related to PTSD

Practice Relaxation Techniques: Deep breathing and mindfulness can help calm the nervous system and reduce stress, which can alleviate anxiety-related nausea, according to Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America.

Adjust Your Diet: Try eating small amounts of bland foods, like plain crackers, and sipping on water or other clear fluids.

Peppermint: Peppermint tea or diluted peppermint oil can help settle the stomach and reduce mild nausea, notes the Cleveland Clinic.

Gentle Movement: Gentle physical activity can also help with anxiety-related nausea.

Seek Professional Help: A licensed clinician can provide evidence-based care and practical tools to manage anxiety and stress responses, including anxiety-related nausea.
If you are experiencing nausea and think it could be related to PTSD, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional to discuss your symptoms and explore treatment options.

It totally sucks and we can do it. It is a difficult dx. And you are incredibly strong and brave and kind and lovely.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON We can do this. We deserve the softness in our mind and body that soothes.

@ScreamingFox One hundo!!! 🤗✨

@Coralmist I eat grilled chicken all the time. I had a few chips with hot sauce and a margarita waiting for my chicken fajita chimichanga at lunch. I had guac instead of beans or rice. I am pretty full still. Tonight, if I eat anything, maybe a half apple. I do incremental fasting out of habit. Who knew it was good for you too?

@TexChik Exactly, eating healthy is good but life without a couple treats is not life lol

@Coralmist Eating healthier and taking a walk around the block is really all you need to do...plus lots of water.

@eyeno 140 wow .. how tall are you? That's really neat you decided to use energy in a positive way🌻

@Coralmist I'm 5'7"
Hehe, I tried gaining weight by eating excessively but to no avail.
I think its because of my metabolism, always thinking or doing something.

@eyeno If you feel healthy then that's what counts?!
