What Causes Nausea And Vomiting In The Mid Of Night?

I am anorexic and abuse laxatives. Lately I have been waking up in the middle of the night, and my heart is racing, I'm sweating and I'm shaking. I feel faint and can barely see. Because I am restricting food so severely, my first instinct is to eat something. I eat and eventually fall asleep, then wake up feeling nauseas and vomitting. What could be causing this? What can I do to reverse this.

Hello,

If this is the anorexia condition, then is due to functional factors that might be playing the role.

Taking laxative is not good for health but if it is the constipation, then it has to be managed with diet and changing the eating habit, like have more fiber containing diet, and have more drinking water.

Keep the regular habit of defecation, even if it is not needed. No need to exert the force for defecation and no need to worry about this too, hope this information helps, (For anorexia try to come out of the stress).

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

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
