Bile vomit: small issue or big issue?!
Question:
Bile vomit: small issue or big issue?
Ever since i could remember i had a bad vomit reflex. I would get sick just by brushing my teeth ever since i was a kid- sometimes even waking up to the bothersome sinsation of nausea where i vomit a thick yellow liquid, but now that i have become sexually active, i start to get worried. I just had my period less than a week ago and have only "got it on" once since then with a condom. I have also heard that this could be stress related, I have been going through a deal of stress caused my mother, my boyfriend, and my school. Should i be scared..OR is it a problem i should have acknowledged and had treated when i was younger? Can it be controlled or stopped?
Answers:
Though this isn't ophtha related... will try to answer it anyway.
Vomiting bile is simply a sign that you nothing more to vomit. If a very strong gag reflex initiates vomiting and there is NOTHING in your stomach, you will tend to vomit bile.
It's not such a big thing.
It COULD be a big thing if this is a chronic thing. Chronic vomiting can cause displastic (cancer-like) changes in the esophagus.
Its best to see a gastro-enterologist as soon as you can.
