This helps you feel full, but it can also cause nausea while your body adjusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What does it mean for me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nausea is common after starting treatment or increasing the dose. It is often worst during the first week of a new dose. It should gradually improve over four to six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What should I do now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eat<\/strong>&nbsp;smaller meals and avoid fatty or spicy foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sip<\/strong>&nbsp;water regularly and remain upright for 30 minutes after eating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tell<\/strong>&nbsp;your doctor about other medicines, supplements, or Ayurvedic products you use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What should I watch for?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch whether the nausea improves each week. Notice repeated vomiting, difficulty drinking, dark urine, dizziness, or a very dry mouth. Also watch for severe upper stomach pain that spreads to your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">When should I get medical help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact your doctor if you cannot keep fluids down for over 24 hours or nausea keeps worsening after eight weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stop the medicine and get medical help immediately for severe, lasting upper stomach pain that spreads to your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Remember<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mild nausea often improves, but worsening symptoms, dehydration, or severe stomach pain need medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container readmore-cta has-custom-css uagb-block-295d67a7 alignfull uagb-is-root-container wp-custom-css-08666824\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want the full picture? <a href=\"https:\/\/glianomics.com\/blog\/nausea-after-glp1-injection-normal-when-to-call-doctor\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/glianomics.com\/blog\/nausea-after-glp1-injection-normal-when-to-call-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the complete deep-dive on Nausea After Your GLP-1 Injection: What\u2019s Normal, and When to Call Your Doctor \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLP-1 medicines slow how quickly food leaves your stomach.
