How to help the vomiting?

[tlc-x]

My poor best friend got vomited on the other day and since then, I just vomit. I've always suffered with nausea from whatever is wrong with me, but recently I have started vomiting. If I feel nausea or have pain, i'll just vomit.

I woke up this morning, lots of pain, bleeding from behind, rushed to the toilet as I really needed to empty my bowels and my bowels said no. So I threw up instead. I've not had a bowel movement for a day, and everytime I need a movement, I vomit instead.

I take antinausea tablets, but they're not helping now. I guess, if you're going to vomit, you're going to vomit. But is there anything I can help make the experience less painful.

I seem to pull back muscles everytime I vomit. Last year I had gastroenteritus, and I pulled a muscle in my back and I was in so much pain, then this morning I pulled a different muscle in my back. I'm sat up straight with cushions supporting my back. I have good posture, but during the moment vomiting, I must be doing something wrong. How do I vomit safely?!

Have you been to see someone about this? Frequent vomiting could be a sign of something quite serious like an obstruction.

I told my specialist today about the vomiting and he just said "oh ok, well, we'll send you for an endo and colonoscopy" and blahhh blahh "ibs" blahhhh.

I have had several bowel obstructions and in general,even when nauseous enough to throw up my toenails,I don't vomit easily. I didn't even vomit with a ruptured appendix for Pete's sake!
Having said that,the only time I have vomited easily were during two periods of my life:1) when I lived in India then africa..omg!especially Africa!i would eat some gross greasy meal of spaghetti and goat stomach,go outside,lean over and spew with ease..and relief!..and 2) last December with a twisted bowel. I woke up and projectile vomited into the toilet this vile mix of bile and fecal material. Eww!!
I would suggest that with the vomiting you get it checked. It could be GERD or reflux or it might be an obstruction..nothing to fool with!

hi tic it sounds very much like a bowel obstruction i to have had several...you should be in the hospital,have you taken pred?

 

[tlc-x]

Nope. I've never had pred or anything... I have paracetamol and motilium (which no longer works evidently)

 

[darlene]

oh dear....maybe have a talk with your doctor bout pred,that will help,but at the same time you should have a mri..good luck hope everything works out for you and im so sorry you are having to go through this i know how horrible it is..it really takes it out off you being sick like that..

Yikes... are you able to keep food down? I'm also worried about a possible obstruction; not to mention you must be dehydrated. Get thee to the hospital!

With my first flare that led to an obstruction- I threw up so badly it was like throwing up from my toes!! The bile OMG the worst! If its that bad I would say go to the dr again and again until they have to do something !!

I'm with everyone else on this one, I'm seriously concerned that you may be getting an obstruction or partial obstruction. Are you having any pains in your abdomen-like cramping? Do you vomit up bile or do you have any pains on your right side just under the rib cage? I think it is best that they find out exactly what is causing this vomiting because it could be really serious.
