Accepted Answer

Talk with your doc: This is a quite severe reaction to menstrual pain and should be evaluated by a physician. It is not uncommon to have pain and cramping with menses, but fainting could indicate something more serious, such as anemia and you need to be seen by a physician.

Question 4

vomiting blood after all food has been vomited. i force myself to stop even though i need to continue to vomit. what can cause this?

Accepted Answer

Mallory-Weiss tear?: A mallory-weiss esophageal tear may develop after vigorous retching. Brisk red bleeding however should not be ignored or dismissed. Old blood may look like coffee-grounds, and be dark-colored. Oozing, small volume bleeds may be diluted by other stomach contents and may look like streaks, clots, or pink-tinged material. Any of these descriptions deserve evaluation--bleeding is never "normal.".

Question 5

i'm scared that if i ever vomit again it will cause me to lose control and not be able to stop vomiting even after stomach contents are gone?

Accepted Answer

Find a Dr. to trust: As President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, in 1933 about 80 years ago, "...let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself...". Medicine is full of uncertainties, so one must find a doctor to trust. If that doctor says don't worry, then one must not be afraid. A good doctor will let his patient know when the time comes to worry, no sooner and no later.

Question 6

my 11 years old sister keeps throwing up white phlegm.what is the reason and how can i stop her from vomiting?

Accepted Answer

Nausea and vomiting: You have to make sure she is hydrated.  Is she able to drink water?  You can try Gatorade if she can tolerate water.  A good rule of  thumb about hydration is if the urine is clear.  If the urine is clear she is hydrated, if dark yellow, she is dehydrated.  She probably has the flu.  If she gets too dehydrated, she will need an IV. And a few liters of fluid.  If she is still vomiting tomor: see md
