Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS): Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) facts • Cyclic vomiting syndrome is a disorder that causes recurrent episodes of nausea, vomiting, and tiredness(lethargy) most often in children but may occur in all age groups. • Symptoms and signs of cyclic vomiting syndrome are repeated attacks of intense nausea, vomiting, and lethargy that last anywhere from an hour to 10 days. Other CVS symptoms and signs may include o pale skin, o abdominal pain, o diarrhea, o headache, o an increased sensitivity to light or to sound. • The most common causes of cyclic vomiting syndrome are emotional excitement and infections. Other triggers can include periods without eating, temperature extremes, lack of sleep, overexertion, allergies, ingesting certain foods or alcohol, and menstruation. • Cyclic vomiting syndrome has four phases: symptom-free, prodrome, vomiting, and recovery. • Cyclic vomiting syndrome is diagnosed by the patient's history and symptoms; there is no definitive test for cyclic vomiting syndrome. • Treatment is done by the patient learning to avoid the causes or triggers of the disorder. During the prodrome, vomiting, and recovery phases, medications are often used to treat the symptoms (for example, antinausea medications, NSAIDs, anti-migrainemedications, fluid replenishment, and others). • Complications may include pain, reflux, fainting, depression, panic disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, and injury to the esophagus. • Cyclic vomiting syndrome is generally considered to be a variant of migraines by researchers.

Gasping: Two possible reasons for gasping. One when you vomit and then try to breath in you can aspirate a little in. The can cause of airway restiction. Also, if you are vomiting and then try to breath your epiglotiss is covering your airway and your voice box will try to restrict.
