    Nausea is the feeling of wanting to be sick (vomit). Vomiting is when you are sick, or 'throw up'. The contents of your stomach rise up your food pipe (gullet, or oesophagus) and spill out of your mouth or nose. Nausea and vomiting are controlled by a combination of the vomiting centre in your brain, and areas within your gut.
    The acid from the stomach erodes and damages teeth, and digestive enzymes damage gums, leading to dental complications. Tears of the oesophageal lining ( Mallory-Weiss tears) can cause bleeding, and you may see blood in the vomit. Recurrent vomiting can also lead the stomach and gullet to become inflamed ( gastritis and oesophagitis ).
