A member asked:

1 vomit episode lasts less than a minute right? usually only 1 or 2 episodes occur right? (trying to get over my fear of vomiting by assessing facts)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The duration of vomiting varies according to cause. If it's due to simple indigestion it may be brief but vomiting can be profuse and prolonged in other cases like sea sickness, vertigo, toxicity cases,gastric inflammation, etc.
