He sweats a lot especially at night for a couple of months on and off. He started vomiting regularly this week and has occassionally for 2 weeks. He feels drained sometimes, doesn't eat like he used to. He will be normal and active with his friends in between. I'M WORRIED! He is definitely not on drugs. Can anyone give me an answer as to what it might be? I have taken him to a Dr. and he ran a urine test and the blood has been drawn for other test.

If a gp cannot give you answers--maybe he can refer you to someone who can. One possible specialist is a gastroenterologist. (for the gastric tract)

You will have to wait for the results from the doc.
What has he been eating?
Has he been messing with girls?
Does he do sports?
Think back you might be able pin point when it all started.
Write things down, like eating habits, sleeping, exercising, etc.. for the doc when you go back.
Could be a virus of some kind, he could have got bitten by something. You will just have to wait for the results.
Keep an eye on him any drastic changes take him to the hospital. Like passing out.

If you don't get an answer from your GP, then ask him what specialist he recommends to go to.
