Specializes in Internal Medicine

See your doctor :): Throwing up after eating could be caused by many things: food poisoning, acid reflux, stomach ulcer, allergies, asthma, heart condition. You should make an appt with your primary care doc for evaluation, treatment and/or possible referral to gastrointestinal doc. Otherwise, you might need to see ENT, lung or heart doc for evaluation. I hope you get better. Go Ravens!
