I woke up around 40 minutes ago and have literally spent around 35 of those minutes face down in the toilet. I don't feel sick. No head cold, nothing. Other than the barring. There is nothing in my stomach, all I'm doing is throwing up stomach acid. Last night I ate a single slice of leftover pizza that I had the night before, which didn't get me sick the first night. So what the heck is wrong with me.? I throw up...feel fine, 2 minutes later I get icky feeling, throw up and the cycle repeats itself. Help!!!
Peeps answered Saturday January 22 2011, 12:32 pm: I am not a doctor either, but I just wanted to present a very basic question for you to ponder:
Is it even remotely possible that you are pregnant?
Morning sickness can occur at any time of day, usually doesn't cause the woman to remain nauseous, and includes random bouts of vomiting. It typically begins around the fifth or sixth week after conception, but some women develop the issue even later into week eight or nine.
Either way, pregnancy or not, take it easy. Eat plain foods and drink water. Rice, toast, and crackers. It might not be the tastiest thing but if you are experiencing some sort of flu bug then it might help your stomach to ease.
If the vomiting becomes uncontrollable, hurts, you throw up blood, or this sort of thing is lasting longer than a typical virus then don't be afraid to seek emergency medical care at your local ER or hospital room. A lot of people die from having the flu because they let the symptoms go on too long or overlooked serious signs that something has worsened. Don't be afraid to say, "Hey, I'm sick! Help!"

The thing is you may have a virus or bug setting in or something else is amiss. I know from my own experience that if the vomiting is non-stop and won't subside with gravol or on its own you should visit an emergency room for treatment as there is a danger of dehydration.
This isn't something that is frequent or happened in the past due to stomach acid or seemingly nothing recently? One of the things they look into while at the hospital is anything gastrointestinal or gal bladder related and if they can't find the source of non-stop vomiting they may out a scope down in extreme instances to diagnose the issue.
That happened in my case and they also topped me up with medication on an IV and fluids to regain what I lost. Definitely head to a hospital and have it checked out if it doesn't subside within a reasonable time. If it's been 24 hours or all damn day now you've got to get it looked into to stop first of all.
