2. Medication side effects: Many medications, including chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, and painkillers, may cause nausea and vomiting as side effects.
3. Pregnancy-related reactions: Morning sickness is common among women in early pregnancy, caused by hormonal changes.
4. Psychological factors: Mental states such as anxiety, depression, and high stress levels may also trigger nausea.
5. Inner ear problems: Inner ear disorders such as Meniere's disease and vestibular neuritis affect balance and are often accompanied by nausea and dizziness.
6. Metabolic abnormalities: Metabolic disorders such as diabetic ketoacidosis and uremia can lead to nausea due to the accumulation of toxins in the body.
