Rest: Lie down and try to nap, or sip a little tea. You may not actually vomit and the sensation pass.

Don't force a vomit.: You never want to make yourself vomit. If you need to vomit, believe me, your body will make you vomit. Forcing the vomit could lead to tears of the esophagus which could be quite serious.
