Nausea And Vomiting After A Car Accident

Nausea

Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of severe injuries after a car accident. However, it is quite common for people to ignore nausea and vomiting after a car accident. Often, people ignore these symptoms because they associate them with the fear and anxiety that is normal after a car crash. However, if you were involved in a car accident and are vomiting and experiencing nausea, you should not assume that you feel that way due to the fear and anxiety that usually comes after a car crash. Nausea and vomiting after a car accident could indicate a severe injury, which requires a doctor’s diagnosis and treatment plan. These symptoms could indicate a severe injury, which, if not treated promptly, could cause long-lasting or permanent damage.

Possible Reasons for Nausea and Vomiting After a Car Crash

The force of a car accident can result in different injuries that can cause symptoms that seem unrelated to an injury, such as nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting. The following are some of the car accident injuries that can cause a person to vomit and feel nauseated;

Abdominal Muscle Strain

This is a type of soft tissue injury. It arises when there is a tear or stretch in one of the five abdominal muscles. The five abdominal muscles are the rectus abdominus, pyramidalis, internal obliques, external obliques, and transversus abdominis. So if, for example, the rectus abdominus stretches or tears in a car accident, an abdominal muscle strain can occur.

Like any other soft tissue injury, an abdominal muscle strain can result in swelling, pain, and discoloration at the injury site. It can also result in vomiting and nausea.

Whiplash

Whiplash is a type of neck injury. It occurs when the neck is subjected to a sudden back-and-forth movement. However, although whiplash is a neck injury, it can cause nausea and vomiting. For example, nausea can arise if whiplash results in blockage of circulation. The lack of circulation can affect the inner ear and head, thus causing nausea and headaches.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury occurs when the skull suffers a violent blow or jolt. Traumatic brain injuries have a wide range of signs and symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, confusion, slurred speech, loss of coordination, convulsion, and fatigue.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Persistent nausea and vomiting might indicate that you have post-traumatic stress disorder, which is a serious mental health condition. Other symptoms of PTSD include intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks.

Seat Belt Syndrome

Seat belts are designed to offer protection to vehicle occupants. But they can also cause injuries. Seat belts can cause a variety of injuries. For example, a seat belt can result in internal bruising, organ aggravation, and systemic infection. All these are injuries that can cause persistent vomiting and nausea.

Do Not Wait To Seek Medical Attention

If you’re experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting after a car accident, see a doctor as soon as possible. A doctor can help you determine the cause of your nausea and vomiting and get the treatment you require.
