Nausea and vomiting

Nausea and vomiting are frequent symptoms of kidney stones. These symptoms occur as a result of nerve connections between the kidneys and the GI tract. Kidney stones can stimulate nerves in the GI system, causing an unpleasant stomach. Nausea and vomiting can also be your body's method of coping with excruciating discomfort. Because the nerves of the kidney and gut are related, a full blockage of the ureters may cause nausea.

The vomiting act is divided into two stages. During the retching phase, the abdominal muscles, diaphragm, and respiratory inspiration muscles all engage in a series of synchronized contractions. As a result, this stage may be confused with an incident of intense hiccups. Nothing has been ejected during this retching phase. The following phase, also known as the expulsive phase, is characterized by severe pressure in the stomach caused by massive movements in both the diaphragm and the abdomen. Kidney stones can also impact the gastrointestinal tract, causing you to vomit. If you develop this symptom, see your doctor as soon as possible.
