Hello,

Nausea, vomiting, fainting can be due to falling in blood pressure or hypotension particularly when Diastolic pressure falls below 60mmHg.

This can be due to:

Decreased activity of the heart, loss of electrolytes from heat in the blood.

The decreased glucose level in the blood due to diabetes mellitus.

I suggest you take him to the hospital for general examination so that proper cause be found and addressed accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR, Dentist
