The Link Between Migraines and Nausea
Migraines are more than just severe headaches. The throbbing discomfort from migraines may be present on a specific side of the head, or the whole head. They often come with symptoms like light sensitivity, visual disturbances, and nausea.
But why do migraines make you feel sick to your stomach? The answer lies in how migraines affect your nervous system.
How Migraines Disrupt the Nervous System
When a migraine occurs, it can activate the vagus nerve, which connects the brain to the digestive system. When this nerve is overstimulated, it can cause nausea, vomiting, and digestive discomfort. Additionally, the disruption of blood flow and inflammation associated with migraines can contribute to gastrointestinal upset.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
