What Causes Dry Heaves Or Vomiting With Sweating?
Question: I have dry heaves or vomiting with sweating - it happens only after I have gone to bed. It sometimes happens so quickly that I have to keep a old plastic bowl next to my bed for the vomiting.
Usually it's hard to get back to sleep and I feel awful the next day. This started 3 years ago with just vomiting and after having a scope of my stomach being normal, we decided it might just be my medications. It started as once a month and then went to every 2 weeks. Sometimes it can be a few months and nothing happens. My medications are - Neurontin 300mg for pain and anxiety -doseage 2. Wellbutrin -300mg once a day, januvia 100mg once a day, spirnolactone -100 mg once a day for lowing male hormone that still makes my skin break out at 58 yrs old. It was finally determined I had PCOS. Levothyroxine 150 (or sometimes 175) mcg once a day, Liothrronine SOD 5 mcg once a day, Cymbalta 90 mg once a day. Metformin 500 mg -2x daily. My last blood sugar fasting was 93 and my AIC was 4.2. Many thanks for any information you may have to help me. XXXXX

Brief Answer:
Episodes of heaves and vomiting are related directly to drug side effects.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
The cause of vomiting with stressful nausea is directly related to the use of drugs(polypharmacy) in your case.
You seem to take make emetogenic drugs which include Cymbalta, Welbutrin, Januvia and Neurotin .
Also it's not advisable to stop these medications in your case.
Since the endoscopy of the stomach is normal, you need not worry much.
All you need at the moment is oral pills of PANTOPRAZOLE-DOMPERIDONE on empty stomach for 3 weeks at 7 am daily .This drug has excellent efficacy in reducing the drug induced nausea and cyclical vomiting.
Additionally oral pills of LEVOCETRIZINE will be effective in treating the dry heaves.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.
Later reducing the dosage of these emetogenic drugs mentioned above will also help to reduce such side effects in the long run.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Prophylactically suggested medications will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
The Medications I suggested if used prophylactically can help to prevent the heaves, nausea and vomiting to a great extent.
Nocturnal onset can be due to the night time Medications for causing such side effects.
Hopefully you should be better off with my earlier advice in the first query.

I answered several questions in my last message. Apparently I did not send them correctly - I don't think they were ever received. I'm not sure which Dr sent them to me. There have been 2 Drs. corresponding with me. Could you please check so I might answer these questions again and hopefully get more information ?
Many thanks
