Can stress cause nausea?

Yes — stress triggers the fight-or-flight response, which directly disrupts the digestive system through the gut-brain axis. Nausea, stomach cramps, and loss of appetite are all common stress responses. Ginger, staying hydrated, and slowing your breathing can help acutely. Lovon supports the emotional regulation that reduces chronic stress and its physical symptoms including stress-driven nausea.
