Nausea is the unpleasant, queasy feeling in your stomach that often makes you feel like you need to throw up. It can be a mild discomfort or a severe sensation that leads to vomiting. Vomiting, also known as throwing up, is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth. It is a reflex action controlled by the brain and is often preceded by nausea.
