Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Vomiting And Dry Heaves After Having Food?
I vomited two weeks ago after having coffee, toast and a clementine...one dry heave and then vomited. Felt fine afterwards. This morning the same thing happened again...coffee, pears and then dry heave and vomited. Again, felt fine afterward. I only take diclofenac for arthritis and some vitamin supplements. Should I be concerned?
Diclofenac is a Cox inhibitor, which can lead to gastritis and ulcer. So if possible avoid that and start taking proton pump inhibitors and antiemetic for 5 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
