With an inflamed joint, throbbing pain or a cut, you sometimes not only feel the pain, but you are also overcome by nausea. Why is that?
How come?
When you are in a lot of pain, adrenaline is released into your body. Your heart beats faster, your muscles tense and your blood pressure rises. Sometimes your breathing speeds up and you start to sweat. In some people this can evoke a nauseous feeling.
You can take painkillers, but you can also pay attention to your breathing and do relaxation exercises. Ginger can help with nausea. For example in a cup of tea with fresh ginger and boiling water.
