My name is Heaven and Im 16 (I was named after a book by V.C. Andrews). I am 16 with a family history of varieous medical problems....For the last few months I have been throwing up randomly. Im not making myself throwing up either. Its never alot and it doesnt seem to have a pattern. On top of that I have lost 20 pounds which may not seem like a lot to ya'll but I lost less when I was on a carb diet for a year. I dont think its the flu cuz I rarly feel feverish but I do get cold chills. I feel week and irritable also. I drink alot too. I could drink a gallon of water and a two letter of diet soda. I have a doctor's appointment the 25th but It would be nice to have an idea of what is wrong. I hope I am just being a hypocondreact...

Unquenchable thirst is a diabetes symptom. If your doctor's appointment is early enough in the day you should skip breakfast and ask for a fasting blood sugar test.
On the other hand, vomitting is a gallbladder symptom. Try to keep track of what you've eaten so you can see what types of food you're throwing up and what types you're not. Fatty foods will make your gallbladder upset and then it will make you throw up. If you can eat fats and NOT throw up it's not your gallbladder.
The important thing is to keep after the doctors until you get an answer that makes sense and a treatment that works. Doctors can be very lazy about diagnosing things and will frequently do the minimum to make you leave the office. Don't let that happen to you. Whatever is wrong could get worse with time and harder to treat.
Good luck.

You might have acid reflex or a bad gallbladder.
Do you have pain? This could be many things and why so long getting into the doctor since you have already lost 20 pounds which can't be good on someone so young. Hope you feel better soon.

It could be the diet soda that is upsetting your stomache so try cutting that out between now and your appointment and see if that helps. It could also just be nerves if you worry a lot about the medical conditions you mentioned. Good luck with the exam and I hope everything is okay!!

The excess thirst and weight lose are symptoms of diabetes. That is not to say that is what you have but those symptoms are consistent with that. As for the intermittent vomiting................I have no clue what would cause that as you didn't post enough info such as is it always in the morning or more often in the morning or at night or after a meal or before a meal etc.

i read that book.
are you nervous about anything?
are you under stress?
taking things to seriously?
sometimes daily things you do effect the way you feel and can sometimes cause sickness.
also, you are 16, your body is going through every possible change so it could be just your hormones adjusting.
sorry i have no real answers for you but i hope your appointment goes well. and make sure you're not stressing over life ;]

You could be down with Food Poisoning or with severe stomach infection. Get yourself checked by a doctor at the earliest.

Have you went to the doctor?
If you go you should ask about Lyme disease!
Have you been bitten by a deer tick?
Thats the most common way, also some other ticks!
It is very serious and you should go get checked out!SOON!
