Emesis - Vomiting

Symptoms & Signs

What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

The healthcare provider often wants to know several things when a person is vomiting, including:

when the vomiting started

what the vomited material looks like

how many times a person has vomited

whether any friends or close family members have been vomiting

whether or not the person has any abdominal distress or chest pain

whether or not the person has a fever or is sick in any other way

whether the person has a decreased appetite, which does not always happen with vomiting

what the person was doing on the day he or she started vomiting

any other symptoms, such as weight loss, dark-colored stools, history of stomach problems or diabetes, or other symptoms

The healthcare provider may ask other questions, which can help narrow the list of possible causes.
