What is happening in that “wave” of nausea that overcomes you right before you vomit?
In: 120
It’s partly psychological; you recognize the signs of upcoming vomit, you associate that with being sick
Partly it’s because your blood pressure drops, leading to a sensation similar to how you can get dizzy if you stand up too quickly
Partly it’s because your body creates adrenaline when you vomit, and adrenaline does make you feel nausea if you are not otherwise distracted
