What Causes Persistent Dry Heaves?

Persistent nausea and vomiting may be caused by pharyngitis, gastroesophageal reflux, or chronic gastritis. Pharyngitis often presents more severe symptoms of nausea and vomiting in the early morning. Gastroesophageal reflux is generally caused by relaxation of the sphincter muscle under the esophagus, resulting in food reflux, a sense of fullness in the abdomen, and accompanied by abdominal pain. Chronic gastritis is manifested as diarrhea. Persistent nausea and vomiting should be promptly examined in the hospital to determine the cause and treated actively.

If the contents of the stomach and duodenum reflux into the esophagus, it can cause damage to adjacent tissues such as the airway, and may also lead to symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, and painful swallowing. The pathogenesis is due to the weakening of the esophageal anti-reflux defense mechanism or food reflux, and the attack of reflux on the esophageal mucosa.

The more obvious symptom of pharyngitis is nausea and vomiting in the morning, accompanied by a desire to clear the throat ("hum" and "cough"), but unable to cough or swallow. The course of pharyngitis is relatively long, and the symptoms are stubborn. There are many causes of the disease. In addition to seeking medical attention, one should also quit smoking and alcohol, and pay attention to diet.

Chronic gastritis can also cause nausea and vomiting, as well as symptoms such as indigestion and weight loss. If not treated promptly, it can easily lead to gastric dilatation. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid strong irritation to the gastric mucosa, pay attention to diet, quit smoking and alcohol, prevent overeating, and strengthen exercise to improve physical fitness.
