Causes of nausea and gastralgia

Of course, a single combination of these phenomena implies the use in food of substandard products (additional symptoms of food poisoning – diarrhea, vomiting, fever, dehydration) or can be the consequence of physical exhaustion in which a person in addition feels a strong weakness, detachment from everyday life or irritable for no reason. However, regular bouts of nausea and epigastric pain (epigastric region where the stomach and some other organs such as the duodenum, pancreas, spleen) – clear symptoms of serious pathologies.
