Most of the time I vomit after eating. Occasionally it's enough that I have to run to the bathroom, but usually it's just mouthful after mouthful, which I've just gotten used to swallowing back down again. It's food, not acid. It happens when I eat a lot, it happens when I eat very little, it happens everywhere in-between, sometimes it happens with drinks. This has been happening for about 10 years. I've had various tests, including a CT scan, multiple upper GI's, ultrasounds, bloodwork...everything comes back normal. In the past 4 years I've been having extremely painful upper right quadrant abdominal pain. It's been fairly consistent over the 4 years with a couple of 3-6 month breaks. The pain itself is always sharp and stabbing, though it comes and goes and varies in intesity from light to very severe. I was wondering if anyone else has had either of these problems and what was wrong, and if they might be related to each other, and possibly the gall bladder. Anyone know?

I went to a health fair and got my blood glucose tested. I had not eaten in 4 hrs, but had drank a Red Bull about 30 min. earlier. When they did the test, the nurse said it was 145. She was shocked when I said that I did not have diabetes. She said that was really high. She said the Red Bull could have affected it because of all the sugar. But I still don't know if 145 is that high...?

Today I was at the county fair. I bought an corn dog, which I quickly ate. I felt queasy, which was hastily perpetuated by the root-beer float i downed to try to calm my stomach.

I felt extremely nauseated, so I dashed into a men's bathroom and vomited. But it went horribly wrong.

I kept vomiting and vomiting an endless stream.

for 30 seconds straight. which led into a minute then five minutes, then thirty...

after a while it was an hour. my wife was wondering what was going on in there. i was continually vomiting without end. I had no choice but to run out onto the pavement, spewing a vomit trail behind me, as I yelled "HELP! EMERGENCY!" while still heaving the contents of my body. no one would come near me, not even the EMT's

after seven hours of straight vomiting, i finally collapsed. the entire fairground was knee-deep. they closed down the kiddie rides. it was horrible. people everywhere were slipping and falling in the greenish muck.

any ideas on what happened?

i have been bleeding, clotting and cramping for almost 4 weeks now and my lower stomach was swelling/hurting a bit (besides the cramping). my gyn told me to get a pelvic ultrasound and my general doctor told me to get an abdominal ultrasound done. my test came back with me having an enlarged kidney and thickened uterus (possible miscarriage). my general doctor is making me go in on monday for blood test BUT im still waiting for my gyn to call me about my results. in the meantime, can u tell me if they are related to one another? have you heard of this before?

p.s.
IF IF IF i was pregnant, i didnt know.

any info would be greatly appreciated!!!

I need some answers, please. I am constantly dehydrated all the time, I can BARELY taste any food or drink (meaning that the taste is "reduced") and throughout the entire day, every single day, my mouth is just so dry its unbelieavable. I drink so much cans of soda, each day, about 6-9 cans! It feels like I can NEVER get hydrdated! I try drinking water, but I get bad stomach aches from certain kinds of liquids and foods, and I hope this isnt some sort of worm feeding itself in my stomach. I can never seem to satisfy the huner or taste! I can actually bite off the skin in my mouth and it doesnt even hurt, maybe a slight pinch. I barely have any sensation on my tongue. Can anyone suggest some help? I told my doctor about it but he didnt seem to pay much attention about it while I was just there for anti-depression (Citalopram).

I was recently reading about a man who claims to have been diagnosed with a particular type of cancer (he won't say what kind) at the age of 18. He says his doctor told him he will probably not live past the age of 40.
I'm curious of what kind of cancer gives that kind of life expectancy?

I have experienced this since I was a teenager, at least. It doesn't happen all the time, sometimes I can go several months to a year without noticing it at all.
But sometimes I feel like I can hear fluid coming down the back of my neck. I never told a doctor, and it doesn't really bother me, but it's strange. It sounds kind of like water going down a drain pipe.
I have some medical background, a degree in Health Information Administration and a year of nursing school, but I never heard anyone talk about anything like this.
Has anyone here in Yahoo Answers ever experienced that, or have you ever heard of it?

Hi I am a 23/F, before I list my symptoms please do not tell me to go see a doctor because I know. I have finaly made an appointment & will be doing so shortly...

I have been having lower pelvic pain for months. 1st on my right side only and now it has spread to my left. It is a dull achey pain. I am also having a dull aching pain in both of my thighs & back. I have started burping & pooping (sorry!) more as well. It seems to be the worst the week or so after I have my period. I have already diagnosed myself with ovarian cancer & am going through extreme anxiety over the fact I may have it. I have finaly gave in and am going to a doctor even though I am extremely scared of anything gynocological. The symptoms seem to be getting worse. Is it likely that at age 23 I have ovarian cancer? There is no known diagnosis of it in my family. I am just so worried I am driving myself crazy. Thanks guys.

I am 13 years old and I'm currently in recovery from anorexia (with bulimic tendencies). I was just wondering if anyone else could share their experiences with me through this, it's getting really hard for me. It seems like my nutritionist has me eating so much, and I'm scared of the weight that I need to gain. Yesterday, she just added 500 MORE calories.. and i'm not even allowed to exersize.Anyway, if anyone can share their experiences or stories with me, it would be awesome. Anything is good, what it was like, how you dealt with it, how much you gained, did you get the weight back off, how you felt, how you feel now, etc. Anything! Thank you sooo incredibly much, anything is appreciated.

I'm on an anti-depressant called nortriptyline. It can cause heat-stroke if I become over-heated. I live in a hot environment, and I don't have a fan or air-conditioning. Am I at risk?

I just wanted to give a shout out to teens who might be thinking about abusing over the counter cough medicines. Especially tablets. PLEASE don't. There have been six deaths here in Wisconsin in the past several months, due to the overdosing of cough medicine, that comes in the form of red capsules. Please...Moms and Dads, go on the internet, tonight, and talk to your children about the dangers. Kids are trying to get an alchohol like "high", and they don't realize how many pills is too much, because of body weight. Talk to them, please!
I'm a nurse, you can Email me, if you have any questions. Thank you

if you touch poison ivy but clean it right after (like within minutes) and like 6 hours later there's no rash or itch, does that mean you're fine, or does it take a while to develop?

I'm 20 years old. I usually drink lots of water. I am a smoker and don't excercise too much. I was very dehydrated due to consumtion of way too much alcohol early this week ( i usually don't drink much) but that's when the dizzy spells started. Since that day i have stayed extra hydrated but they keep comming back. If i cough I get dizzy for a moment also when i look down very quickly. Looking up usually makes it go away more quickly but why is this happening?
