How to cure nausea, coughing, and dizzy in Gray Zone Warfare
- Ailments can be treated by bandages, tourniquets, pain pills, stimulators, splints, suture kits, and blood bags.
- Gray Zone Warfare has a detailed medical condition system that considers wounds, bruises, broken bones, and damaged organs.
Learning how to cure nausea, coughing, and dizzy in Gray Zone Warfare will help you stay in the fight. These medical ailments are as likely to strike you down as much as bullets are. While these don’t instantly kill you, they are a pain to deal with. Here’s how you can cure yourself of medical conditions in Gray Zone Warfare.
How to cure nausea and coughing
Nausea can be cured by using a Surgical Kit in Gray Zone Warfare. This item will be in your locker if you join up in Early Access or can be purchased at the Lab Rat vendor at your starting base. Nausea occurs due to stomach bleeding when an enemy manages to land a hit on your stomach. It can also occur due to liver injury, radiation exposure, or intoxication (via stimulants) as mentioned by developer Madfinger Games. As for coughing, it’s due to damage done to your lungs. This affliction too needs a Surgical Kit to be cured. Internet bleeding won’t kill you outright but it’ll slowly drain your blood count. This should be remedied before you’re knocked out if you want to keep your precious loot.
How to cure dizzy in Gray Zone Warfare
Use a blood bag to cure the dizzy condition in Gray Zone Warfare. Those playing in Early Access will start with three Large Blood Bags with 500 millilitres of blood in their inventory. You can also purchase Small Blood Bags for $117 at the Lab Rat Vendor. Finish tasks for them to unlock larger ones. Being dizzy occurs due to blood loss, distorting your vision and making your aim worse. While gauze and bandages are a temporary solution, you’ll need a blood bag to cure the dizzy condition if you’re really low on health, or else you’ll fall into a coma. If you only took slight damage, you’ll be able to regenerate blood at a slow rate with time. Your friends from the same faction can perform an examination on you or even heal you if you are suffering from a medical condition.

How does healing work in Gray Zone Warfare?
Instead of a hitpoint system, Gray Zone Warfare has a detailed medical condition system that considers four kinds of injuries:
- Wounds (Red): These are caused by bullet wounds or melee hits. They are split into Light, Medium, and Severe categories. While Light ones heal on their own, others need treatment.
- Bruises (Purple): These aren’t as alarming as wounds as they happen when protective gear stops bullets. This condition heals with time.
- Damaged Organs: This occurs when damage is dealt to organs like the brain, heart, lungs, and liver. Get hit on vital organs and you will instantly be killed.
- Broken Bones: Falls and bullet impacts can break bones.
These can be fixed by six different types of medicine in Gray Zone Warfare:
- Bandages: Stop all forms of Bleeding but don’t fix bruises.
- Tourniquets: Treat Bleeding but don’t fix wounds.
- Pain pills: Relieve pain, gain radiation resistance, and reduce toxicity levels.
- Stimulators: Gain benefits and certain drawbacks based on the item.
- Splints: Use to fix broken bones due to damage.
- Suture Kits: Patch up organ damage and internal bleeding.
- Blood Bags: Restore blood lost due to injuries.
It is unlikely you will have every single ailment active at once, but you should always stay on top of curing them. Make sure you keep an eye on your stock and inventory, you wouldn’t want to run out of medical supplies.
