As stones move into your ureters — the thin tubes that allow urine to pass from your kidneys to your bladder — signs and symptoms can result. Signs and symptoms of kidney stones can include severe pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, chills and blood in your urine.

Why do kidney stones make me nauseous?

It's common for people with a kidney stone to have nausea and vomiting (8). These symptoms happen because of shared nerve connections between the kidneys and GI tract ( 9 ). Stones in the kidneys can trigger nerves in the GI tract, setting off an upset stomach.

Can kidney stones cause nausea and bloating?

Normally, kidney stones cause symptoms such as pressure and pain in your lower back, fever, frequent urination, discomfort urinating, and bloody or discoloured urine. However, sometimes kidney stones can cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort.
