What Causes Severe Headache Leading To Vomiting?

unexplained vomiting from a 8 year old boy at least 4 times a month. I am not sure if this is stress related. He he gets worked up over homework, not wanted to do things, and cannot handle discipline. He like hyperventilates and complains about a massive headache and turns into stomach ache to vomiting. He comes from a separate family and has issues with change. But then tonight there was a calm day and he complained about headaches and then turned into stomach pain and then vomited at night.

Hi...I feel this could be an anxiety disorder and the headache/ vomiting / hyperventilation all are inter-related and seem to be related to stress and anxiety. As you said he is form some other home, it will take some time for kids like this to get adjusted to the new environment. I suggest you consult a child psychologist regarding this. It will definitely be helpful.
