About Vomiting
Vomiting is a common symptom that occurs when the contents of the stomach are expelled through the mouth. This action is also known as “throwing up”. Vomiting can be caused by a range of conditions and triggers including:
- Bacterial or viral infection - commonly known as “stomach flu”
- Motion sickness/dizziness
- Alcohol use
- Dehydration
- Food poisoning
- Fever
- Morning sickness
- Intestinal blockage
- Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions)
- Concussion
- Migraines
- Brain tumor
- Heart attack
- Kidney and/or liver failure
- Bulimia nervosa
- Thyroid problems
- Cancers
- Chemotherapy
Vomiting is a common occurrence and rarely requires medical attention on its own. Women who are early in their pregnancy might vomit every morning (morning sickness), due to the hormonal changes associated with being pregnant. However, vomiting and nausea can signify a serious health condition, like some of those listed above. In many instances, vomiting is a sign that something is not right in your body.
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing vomiting along with these symptoms:
- Dehydration
- Diarrhea
- Blood in the vomit
- Confusion and fatigue
- Rapid breathing
- Increase in heart rate
- Fever over 101 degrees
- Pain
- Headache or neck stiffness
These symptoms may indicate a condition more serious than a bout of nausea, and most likely require medical attention.
