What should I do if I feel dizzy, nauseous, and like vomiting after drinking coffee on an empty stomach?
Dizziness, nausea, and vomiting after drinking coffee on an empty stomach may be related to excessive caffeine intake, indigestion, chronic gastritis, and other factors. These symptoms can be managed through daily care, oral medications, and other treatments. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Excessive caffeine intake
Drinking coffee on an empty stomach may lead to excessive caffeine intake, which stimulates the central nervous system. This can trigger symptoms such as vomiting, acid reflux, and dizziness. Drinking more warm water may help dilute the concentration of coffee in the gastrointestinal tract, promote metabolism, and relieve discomfort.
2. Indigestion
Long-term overeating and irregular eating habits can increase the burden on the gastrointestinal mucosa and slow intestinal motility. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach may further irritate the intestines, leading to poor digestion and symptoms such as dizziness, belching, and vomiting. Medications such as Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets or Domperidone tablets may be used under medical guidance for treatment.
3. Chronic gastritis
Individuals with pre-existing chronic gastritis may experience irritation of the affected area after drinking coffee on an empty stomach, potentially triggering inflammatory responses. Clinically, this may manifest as stomach pain, dizziness, and nausea. Treatment may include medications such as enteric-coated Rabeprazole Sodium capsules or enteric-coated Omeprazole capsules, used under a doctor's supervision.
In addition to the above causes, similar symptoms may also be associated with conditions such as gastric ulcers, reflux esophagitis, or vestibular neuritis. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation and undergo appropriate examinations and treatments as directed by a physician.
