Diagnosis & Tests
How is the condition diagnosed?
People can diagnose nausea on their own. A healthcare provider can help a person figure out the cause of the nausea. The first step is a history and physical exam. In some cases, this may be all that is needed to diagnose the cause. In other cases, many other tests may be needed. Blood, urine, and x-ray tests are commonly done.
