Overview Of The Signs Of Stress

Nausea

Nausea is another major symptom of stress! It is quite common to feel nauseous during and after a stressful event. The reason is the many ways in which an individual's gut and central nervous system are connected. For instance, there is a neurotransmitter network that regulates the feelings and sensitivity in the intestines, abdomen, and stomach. This is the endocannabinoid system! It influences nausea. One of the ways this happens is the regulation of ghrelin. This hormone regulates an individual's mood and triggers hunger!

Stress causes this hormone to increase! A major side effect, due to the connection to hunger, is nausea. Many patients will also deal with anticipatory nausea. It comes when individuals expect the stress to return, even when the event is over. It is also triggered when individuals think about the stressful event!
