What is nausea and vomiting?
Nausea and vomiting are usually symptoms of an underlying condition. Nausea is an uneasy feeling in the abdomen which is sometimes followed by your body forcibly emptying its stomach contents (vomiting).
What are the causes of nausea and vomiting?
Nausea and vomiting can be triggered by some of the following conditions or triggers:
- Alcohol
- Brain injuries
- Emotional distress
- Extreme pain
- Food poisoning
- Gastroparesis (a condition affecting the natural movement of stomach muscles)
- Heart attack
- Infections (stomach flu)
- Motion sickness
- Overeating
- Pregnancy
- Some medicines

- Ulcers
There are many more conditions that can induce nausea and vomiting. It is best to speak with a doctor to determine the cause of your nausea and vomiting.
How can I treat nausea and vomiting?
Nausea can typically be treated at home by drinking clear liquids and avoiding solid foods. For nausea that doesn’t resolve with this, there are several prescription medications available that are highly effective. Once the nausea starts to pass, start introducing bland foods slowly to encourage recovery. Nausea and vomiting that doesn’t resolve with oral prescription treatment requires a thorough in person medical examination and testing.
For pregnant women, morning sickness can often be reduced by eating crackers when waking or eating a high protein snack before bed (lean meat or cheese)

2K Ratings Saves a lot of time compared to sitting in a doctor's office!
Legitimate and just as described, with fabulous doctors. Totally fills the late-night worry gap!
Not having to endure a long wait at a walk in clinic is fabulous. Especially since I have twin pre-schoolers to contend with.
The service is so quick and professional and saves hours spent in a walk-in-clinic. This is a game changer for busy moms and I recommend it to everyone!
Instead of my husband having to drag both kids to the hospital or walk in alone he was able to see a doctor right away and get a prescription faxed to our local pharmacy.
Our family has used this service twice so far and it has been amazing. Both doctors were friendly, compassionate and you never feel rushed.
Was concerned I wouldn’t be able to see a doctor without an appointment. I installed the Maple app, spoke to a doctor and had my prescription in under 30 min.
I used Maple for the first time today. It was quick and easy, took less than ten minutes including connecting time and the doctor was professional and friendly.
LOVE This service. Not only do you have a doctor within seconds but they are professional and knowledgable.
Absolutely blown away. It was SO easy to use. No wait time getting connected with a doctor. Getting the prescription faxed to the pharmacy made it a seamless process.
