Medical Marijuana and Severe Nausea

We’ve all had an upset stomach before. But some patients experience chronic and severe nausea that gets in the way of living a quality life. It can be caused by an underlying disorder, or it can function as its own condition. Sometimes, even medication and treatment meant to address a different condition can cause chronic nausea.

Regardless of the cause of your severe nausea, it makes it difficult to deal with your other symptoms. That’s where we come in. We believe medical cannabis can be an ideal treatment for severe nausea. To help you make an informed decision about the options available to you, let’s review some of the facts about medical marijuana and its usefulness in treating nausea.

About Severe Nausea

While often associated with the stomach flu, pregnancy and gastrointestinal disorders, nausea can be a major symptom or side effect of blood sugar disorders, anxiety disorders and more. When a patient experiences severe nausea, they can feel intensely queasy, constantly sick to their stomachs or they may experience frequent vomiting.

Depending on the nature of your health problems, severe nausea can occur as a response to certain triggers like medication or a panic attack, or it can occur chronically as a regular part of your condition. It can happen predictably or unpredictably, and it may manifest itself differently in different patients.

No matter what causes it, severe nausea interferes with all sorts of daily living activities. It’s difficult to maintain an ordinary routine when you’re in constant discomfort. It’s also difficult to develop healthy eating habits when your stomach can’t keep most food down. This is harmful especially if you’re fighting an illness, when your body needs nutrients to help fight the sickness.
