Why Do I Always Feel Nauseous and Have Dry Heaves?

　　In fact, many people suffer from gastric disorders in daily life, most of which are relatively mild. For individuals who frequently experience nausea and vomiting, this may indicate that the gastric condition has progressed to a more severe stage; however, such symptoms can also impair visual acuity during routine dietary intake. So why does nausea and dry retching persist?

　　Why Does Nausea and Dry Retching Persist?

　　Persistent nausea and dry retching may stem from gastric disorders, indigestion, or upward rebellion of stomach qi. For recurrent nausea, gastric conditions—such as gastritis or indigestion—should be considered first. If gastritis is diagnosed, lactase-containing tablets (e.g., lactase enzyme tablets) may be selected for treatment; symptom improvement is often noticeable within the same day. In cases of indigestion, consuming vegetables and fruits known to promote digestion repeatedly can effectively alleviate nausea and vomiting. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided, and adequate water intake is recommended to help eliminate toxins from the body. Pronounced nausea may indeed be attributable to indigestion.

　　Attention should be paid to daily dietary habits, favoring light, easily digestible foods. Menstrual irregularities should also be monitored. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), persistent nausea and dry retching may result from rebellious stomach qi. If this is the underlying cause, TCM herbs that regulate and descend stomach qi should be prioritized. Lifestyle factors—including diet and sleep patterns—must also be addressed: in addition to selecting bland foods, maintaining regular, adequate sleep is critically important.

　　In daily life, cultivating healthy lifestyle and dietary habits is essential. We hope this information proves helpful to you.
