My MD had an ultrasound and cardiac stress test performed - both of which were normal.. Usually the episodes last a day or two. The most recent episode lasted four days.

Dear Ms
Normal Ultrasound and Cardiac stress test is very reassuring. It just goes to say that there is nothing seriously wrong. As the symptoms have been persistent other causes of nausea and vomiting have to be ruled out.
Other possibilities like Gastritis, Gastro-Oesophageal reflux needs to be ruled out.
As the symptoms are periodic , the minimum investigation needed is Upper Gastor-intestinal Endoscopy , Routine blood test and Random Blood glucose levels.
I would suggest you to consult Gastroenterologist or primary care physician for further assessment.
In the meantime i would recommend the following
1. Avoid fatty meals or large meals
2. Eat small quantity more frequently
3. If you have the habit of consuming alcohol , kindly avoid it in any quantity
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance , will be glad to assist you .
Wishing you and your family a very happy and Healthy life
Take care
