Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
No doubt metformin itself causes nausea & vomiting ( but in mild form).
In your case, if necessary please take metformin , after the consultation of you treating physician.
Blood thinners develops nausea, vomiting ,stomach discomfort , so think about that also .
As far as concerned no doubt vomiting is there , but it may be due to hyper acidity , gastritis, water pills ( excess) .
Consult another physician and get his opinion after endoscopy to rule out any disease in stomach.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
