What Causes Excessive Sweating, Nausea And Vomiting?

exclude other causes of vomiting
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
vomiting can be caused by various disorders. The gastrointestinal causes are just a part of them. If there are no gastrointestinal issues then you should check of the systems. First of all the duration of this symptom is important. If he vomits for a few days then a gastroenteritis (or another infection) is very likely. If he vomits for a long time then other causes are more likely.
- Nervous system causes: brain related issues have to be investigated particularly if other symptoms are present like headache for example. A brain MRI can diagnose many brain-related disorders.
- Ear causes: the middle ear contains structures that may cause vertigo (and vomiting). An ENT specialist can diagnose such issues although any doctor may identify significant clues like nystagmus.
- Metabolic disorders: lab tests may identify hyponatremia, acidosis, uremia, increased liver function tests, etc
- Toxic substances like alcohol or other drugs.
- Allergies.
So the first thing to do include the basic biochemical tests, complete blood count and inflammatory markers (like ESR and C-RP). If there's still no clue then further testing should be done. The priority of tests will be dictated by clinical clues. Please note that I've considered nausea and sweating as symptoms that accompany vomiting, not as the primary symptoms.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
Kind Regards!
