What Causes Persistent Vomiting 5-6 Times A Day?

Hi, my sister has been throwing up for two weeks now and can not eat anything. She lost about 12 pounds in 2 weeks. she weighs 103 pounds now and she is 164cm tall. We have been to several doctor and they keep prescribing anti-nausea pills but saying that her blood tests are good and ex-ray don t show anything concerning. I m very concerned! I don t know what else to do. the hospital put her on a list to Stomach Specialist which they said could take up to a month to get into. Anything she attempts to eat goes right back out in about 20 minutes or so (she s throwing up about 5-6 times daily even when she doesn t eat). I m trying to think what could be the cause and thinking that maybe she was very stressed about few weeks ago and it could be a result of it. Please let me know if there s anything she could try to do right now or if there anyway she can start eating again to recover. Thank you in advance

Hi,

I would like to know age and advise psychiatric consultation. If nothing from psychiatric opinion, I will advise an endoscopy.
