Chronic nausea

What does "Chronic nausea" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

Chronic nausea refers to a long-term feeling of being about to vomit. It's not a disease itself, but rather a symptom that can be caused by various conditions. Unlike occasional nausea that goes away after a short time, chronic nausea lasts for a long time, often several weeks or more. It can occur every day or just once in a while, but it's persistent and doesn't just go away on its own.
