"Does anyone know what it's called when you randomly throw up? I'm not talking about vomiting due to an illness or a hangover, but just randomly throwing up without any obvious explanation. It's happened to me a few times and I'm not sure why. I'm looking for some answers and advice from anyone who has experienced this or knows anything about it.

The medical term for throwing up randomly is called "hyperemesis". Hyperemesis is an abnormal condition characterized by frequent and severe vomiting which can lead to dehydration and weight loss. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including pregnancy, gastrointestinal infection, food poisoning, and certain medications. Treatment usually includes fluids, electrolytes, and nutritional support. In some cases, antiemetics may be prescribed to help control the vomiting.

This phenomenon is known as "gastric flu," "stomach flu," or "stomach bug." It is a viral infection of the stomach and intestines, and is often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms of this condition can include nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever. While it is usually not serious, it can be uncomfortable and it is important to rest and stay hydrated. Treatment typically involves over-the-counter medications, such as antacids and anti-diarrheal agents, as well as plenty of rest and fluids. In more severe cases, doctors may prescribe antibiotics to treat any underlying bacterial infection.

Nausea and vomiting is medically known as emesis. This can be caused by a variety of things, including infection, medication side effects, motion sickness, food poisoning, or even a condition called cyclic vomiting syndrome. It is important to identify and address the root cause of your emesis in order to properly treat it and prevent further episodes. If your emesis is severe or frequent, you should speak with your doctor to discuss possible causes and treatments.

When you throw up randomly, it is usually referred to as “emesis” or “vomiting.” Vomiting is a reflex act that occurs when the stomach forcefully expels the contents of its stomach through the mouth. Vomiting can be caused by a variety of things, from a viral infection like the flu or food poisoning to certain medications or even excessive alcohol consumption. Depending on the cause, the vomiting may be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and/or diarrhea.

Vomiting can also be a sign of a more serious medical condition, such as an obstruction in the stomach or intestines, gastroparesis, a brain tumor, or even an infection in the brain. It is important to consult a doctor if you experience vomiting without an obvious cause, if the vomiting continues for more than 24 hours, or if it is accompanied by other worrisome symptoms. Treatment for vomiting will depend on the underlying cause, which is why it’s important to seek medical attention if vomiting persists.

Q: What is it called when you throw up randomly?

A: This phenomenon is known as cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). It is an uncommon disorder that causes repeated episodes of nausea, vomiting, and tiredness. During a CVS episode, the person will feel nauseated, and they may vomit multiple times in a short period of time. The episodes can last from hours to days, and can be accompanied by abdominal pain, headaches, and fever. CVS is more common in children than adults, and the cause is unknown. Treatment usually involves lifestyle changes and medications to reduce the severity of symptoms.

"I'm looking for a word to describe someone who randomly vomits."

The person you are describing is likely to be suffering from a condition known as cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS). CVS is characterized by recurrent episodes of severe nausea and vomiting that can occur at any time, without warning.
