I was actually looking online for help to this issue and came upon this site. I have suffered with this my entire life and I have asked many people if they experience the same thing (and they don't). Again, I fit the same profile as the people on the site and even found this week that pot made the problem go away. The problem is I don't want to become a pothead and nothing else is wrong with me. There does seem to be one thing that connects to this issue. In the paper they mentioned a study saying that when you wake-up before 7:22 am you have an increase in stress hormones and perhaps that is causing these effects in us. Maybe this will lead to some better answers, because I am at a loss. Thanks guys for the thread!

Hey I cant believe I found other males with the same problem. Im 20 and have been dealing with this since I can remember. I've lost jobs because of this issue. I will wake up and feel ok for about 15 minutes, Then I have to go to the bathroom and its not very plesant at all, then for hours afterwards i'll have the shakes and have the feeling of vomiting, sometimes I even vomit. The only way I can avoid this feeling is if my body wakes up when it wants too, an alarm or someone waking me up will automatically make me feel sick. Im a severe hypoglycemic but I would bet that has nothing to do with it as I have it under control pretty well. And if I am awaken and get this feeling the only way for it to go away is if I go back to sleep. I wish someone could find a cure because it has really been horrible for years now.

Wow, I never thought I could find an entire thread with people that has the same problems. Anyway, I'm 16 years old, male, and somewhat underweight. I've suffered from morning sickness since I was in grade school. My symptoms aren't that severe, though I would often spend about 5-15 minutes every morning in the bathroom vomiting up stomach acid (or a bitter, light yellow substance). It's not always there though, I've been largely relieved of it for the past two months or so, however now it's made a full comeback. I definitely think that it's related to stress, given that there are many many tests going around this week, though I don't really see anyone else with the same problem. I'm not on any drugs, and eat dinner around 2-2.5 hours before I sleep, can anyone give any suggestions?

Hey everyone Ive found something that has helped me out ALOT!, Ive found that it is anxiety, and that I have it really bad. I was put on a drug called lorazepam. Stuff has worked miracles for me.

All I can say is WOW!

I have told friends about this and they just thought I was crazy.

I think this first started when I was in my late teens. It can last for up to a year but usually shorter.

My problem was always excess saliva that I would swallow through the night. When I would wake up I would feel it in my chest and the I would feel really sick. I'd say 80% of the time I would throw it up. Throwing up in the morning just became part of my routine. I would throw up that nasty yellow stuff or just foamy saliva.

It's really miserable but it makes me feel better that others are experiencing this and that I am not simply crazy.

I was put through some tests when I was younger and it was awful. Upper GIs and a series of allergy shots and tests found nothing wrong. Now with you people it looks like I'll have some ideas on how to combat this.

I'm 32 now and have had a really bad couple of weeks with it. I'm sure stress triggers it to a point but I've been through it without any stress.

Okay, so I'm 20, and just started having this happen to me two or three days ago. I don't have stress issues, I eat before I go to sleep, and I'm not hypoglycemic, but I'm awoken by my churning stomach, and immediately have to wake up by going into the bathroom. Half the time I throw up, and the other half, I'm just really gaggy. So I still don't know what's wrong with me. I eat, I'm in shape (not super ripped, but I'm an average college student) and I'm not stressed at all really..

Everyone seems to have their panacea, but I'm still left open...

Anyone find any results that weren't linked to those attributes...?

Hey guys,

I just wanted to add myself to the list of individuals here experiencing this. I have the same issue with nausea in the morning that subsides usually by 10:00 to 12:00. I notice it is fine when I wake up on my own- if I don't sleep well, or too short it worsens to the point of vomiting. I've been checked for H. Pylori to no avail, and have been prescribed Pepcid and Zantac with no results. I'm not underweight, haven't used any drugs, and am generally healthy otherwise. If anyone comes up with answers please share them.

Hey guys
Bad for us that we have this problem but good for me that im not the only one!
Im a 29yr male, fighting fit and slim, work in a extremely stressful job and smoke cigarettes. I have lived with a nausea feeling every morning for years, i actually thought it was the smoking causing me to feel ill due to the fact that after my 1st smoke in the morning i kinda feel better. Yes i have a stressful job but im not stressed so i dont think its that, in my case that is.

So the other day the g/f was sick n we went to the doc and in passing i told her my problem and she said "that sounds like a ulcer" So decided to do a test and see how it worked. Grabbed a bottle of GAVISCON and had 2 table spoons before i went to bed, believe it or not i woke up the next morning not feeling nauseous!! I've repeated the Gaviscon nightly and this is my 3rd day without having the symptoms.

Yes in my case this seems to be helping, others might have similiar symptoms but it could be something totally else. Interesting enough doing a search on Google with "Morning sickness & Gaviscon" comes up with females that have morning sickness take Gaviscon, also something to note in my case, smoking causes ulcers.

I suppose this doesnt really answer my question as to what is causing this, is it an ulcer, or acid? At the end of the day i suppose if i want answers i should go to the doctor and have tests. Im just glad this is working. Hope this offers some help?

Hi Guys and Gals!

I have discovered this thread via Google and it gives me some comfort to know that I am not alone.

I am a 25-year-old male, 6 foot 1 inch tall, and 185 pounds. I eat fairly well and take care of myself. I have been dealing with this frustrating “male morning sickness” for about 6 months.

My symptoms seem slightly different then some folks, though, since the nausea feeling is very strong and lasts all day. It never goes away. Ever. I used to vomit a lot and could not do things I used to. Anything from working out to talking would make me vomit. I always lived on the edge of emesis.

I have seen many doctors, specialists (GI, neuro, etc.), and ARNPs, and nobody can find anything wrong with me. Here some procedures I have gone through:

- Endoscopy (Upper GI)
- Ultrasound
- CT Scan
- MRI
- Gastric Emptying Study (Nuclear Medicine)
- HIDA Scan (Gall bladder, involving Nuclear Medicine)
- Advanced blood diagnostics

I have been on Zegerid, Nexium, and Carafate. The first doctor I visited put me on Phenergan (Promethazine), which has been my best friend. Without Phenergan, I would not be able to live my life. I take about 50mg per day (2 tablets, 25mg each).

My current neurologist wants to put me on Paxil. I am not depressed and I do not feel that stressed. I’ve heard about serious side effects with Paxil, so I’m still tossing that one around. I will also be researching alternative medicine and will undergo a couple other pending tests.

I am as frustrated with this as you all are. When I get this resolved, I will report back and perhaps it will help some of you.

Good luck everybody.

I'm so glad I found this forum, Ive had the same morning sickness for some time now and was beginning to think I must be the only one.

My doctor cant seam to find the root cause behind it and I dont feel stressed or anxious so cant find a way to explain it.

Sometimes it can bring on Migraine attacks for me also which my doctor has told me is probally a result of dehydration from vomiting and increased stress on the stomache muscles which require additional resources to repair themselves.

It been a big problem for me as I cant give work a satisfactory answer for the condition and my colleagues dont even believe its real.

Its good to finally know theres other men out there who have this symptom.
Now all we need is a soloution!

Good luck all

im so happy i found this forum and this thread

im a 20 year old male and i'm suffering from the exact same thing. i only have this problem in the morning and after about lunch time im perfectly fine. it is reallly freaking irritating though to have this problem almost every morning. i wake up and immediately feel like throwing up and am nauseous. it gets hard to brush my teeth because that makes it worse. it feels so terrible that sometimes i dont feel like getting out of bed in the morning because i know exactly what lies ahead. this however has always turned out to be a horrible idea because as someone mentioned, if you just lie there it gets even worse and i am forced to get up because of the nausea gets so bad.

this problem has been exacerbated and made a lot worse for me this summer, and I think it could possibly have something to do with the fact that I have a summer internship, really its just a guess though and I have no idea what my problem is.

This morning however I felt better than most mornings. I was able to actually eat breakfast. Usually with this problem I am hungry in the morning but also nauseous so it feels really bad but today I was able to have breakfast. So I was thinking about what was different between yesterday morning, which was terrible, and today morning. For one, I dont have work today since its a weekend so that could play a factor. Also, last night I fell asleep watching television with the lights on and also I forgot to brush my teeth. That could also be a factor, because in the morning brushing my teeth makes me feel worse so maybe not brushing teeth at night is good for this problem, I'm not sure. Lastly, last night I went for a longgg walk outside after dinner. that could have helped though usually i sleep a long time after dinner just dont walk as much.

my dad talked to a gastro doctor for me but the dr mentioned things like anesthesia and biopsy and i told my dad that i dont know if i wanted to go forth with that stuff. it cant be a mjor problem i feel because its only iin the mornings and the rest of the day im on top of the world, and also because i'm pretty healthy - no health problems, i work out, play some basketball.

theres another doctor i can go to that my dad knows but my dad said hes probably going to give me some minerals and stuf. I might try that out before going to the GI doctor.

I would love any information you could give me regarding this. i know i have the same problem as many of you that posted here. thank you

so i went to the doctor regarding this male morning sickness thing
we're not sure what it is so we're trying different things now including blood test for allergies and wheat intolerance as well as stool test for parasites
it may also be a form of gerd the dr said so we're going to see if thats it

school started for me again today and this morning was terrible for me again, after like 2 weeks of feeling good - im starting to think it may be related to just stress and nerves

anyway i just wanted to keep the forum updated since i know there are a bunch of people that have this problem

hello everyone ok, wheres the doctor thats supposed to be answering our questions? thats why i became a member. im a non pregnate female who is suffering from the same thing.

ok how do i start this.. last year in february, i became an alcoholic, and it continued till the end of the summer. picked it up again by the end of the year. i had also just gotten out of a long serious relationship. so i started to not be able to hold in my alcohol, and i had to throw up at least twice before going to bed. then i started throwing up in the morning. every morning. and id just throw up water (i drink a lot of water) or yellow bile that would taste bitter, exactly like chewing a pill. so i stopped having dinner late, my latest meal would be 7 pm. it would make no difference.
i smoke, so i thought it was because of that. i quit drinking 8 months ago, and it still happens from time to time. not on a daily basis as it was last yyear. but i had problems with work, coz they wouildnt beleive me. ive also developed a skin allergy that has the left the doctors at loss.
i dont know what to do. its starting to worry me.

pot helps calms the situation actually and the cigerette change the staste of my mouth which makes the nausea go away

Hey... I am very glad I came across this forum... I am in the same boat here as many. I am a 34y/old male who just had an appendectimy. Before that I have had off and on "Morning Nausea" and I mean it was extreme... I have always had a bad stomach... with many trips to the bathroom throught the day.. Now its back and it is BRUTAL in the morning... and gets better throughout the day..

Recently, as I said I had the appendicitmy, which has kinda freeked me out to think that this was a sign of more things wrong with me in the GI area... Especially with all of this nausea stuff...

I had a CT scan to diagnose the appendix thing... so I do feel a bit better about things, and all of my bloodwork has been perfect to this point...

My doc wants me on some anxiety stuff... cuz he is trying like hell to convince me that there is nothing wrong with me...

any thoughts?

Hi Everyone - I am new to this forum and was convinced that I was the only person that had this issue in the world. I have had the same issue - morning nausea, vomiting yellow or white stuff, lots of gagging and burping for as long as I can remember. I have seen GI specialists etc.

To make a long story short, I now take 25mg of Seroquel every night before going to bed. It's literally the ONLY thing that has helped me. I have tried anti-depressents, valium, xanax and all the pepto's and nexium's around.

I am convinced that the problem is stress related. There is a mind/body connection here. When I'm extremely stressed - the seroquel doesn't help much.

Only in this dosage and only at night have I found it effective.

Ask yourself how your stomach is when you are on vacation or truly relaxed....

My bf has had these problems yall are talking about for a very long time. Has cant function in the morning because he is so nauseated. It takes him several hours before he can actually get going. He occasionally throws up whatever he ate the night before and he has a really hard time after he eats no matter what or when it is because he is so neauseated. I'm am really curious what else you guys have in common. Does anyone have
-decreased sex drive or disintrest in sex
-difficulty eating around others or in resturants
-general grumpy mood somewhat frequently
-panic attacks,anxiety
-smoking,tobacco use
-low energy
or anything else that maybe related???
I really hope that someone will be able to figure out what is going on so he and others suffering with these things can feel better and get on with their lives!!!

Stool test found a pretty common bacteria but doc said maybe that's what it was. Was on strong antibiotic for like 2- 3 weeks to get rid of it but my morning sickness didn't get any better after that.

So to review: we checked all allergies and asthma first - didn't have those. Then we checked stool and fixed that and still problem isn't solved. Also tried some allergy medicine - Alavert, just in case. That did not work either. Tried some heartburn medication - I forgot the name - but it didn't work either.

Still have the problem but it is a lot less than it was over the summer. I still think it is related to stress.

On Yahoo Answers someone said their child had this problem and it was solved by having two tums before bed every night. I will give that a try and post on this forum if that works.

I have been having the same symptoms as well. The nausea in the morning. When I was a little kid and got it, it made me unable to go to school then. I have a weird sleep schedule and my diet is not too great so it possibly could be a number of things. When my nausea bothers me really bad if I smoke some pot then I feel 100% better.

It sounds like many of you could be suffering from something called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS.) In cyclic vomiting syndrome people experience bouts or cycles of severe nausea and vomiting that last for hours or even days and alternate with longer periods of no symptoms. CVS occurs mostly in children, but the disorder can affect adults, too.

CVS has no known cause. Each episode is similar to the previous ones. The episodes tend to start at about the same time of day, last the same length of time, and present the same symptoms at the same level of intensity. Although CVS can begin at any age in children and adults, it usually starts between the ages of 3 and 7. In adults, episodes tend to occur less often than they do in children, but they last longer. Furthermore, the events or situations that trigger episodes in adults cannot always be pinpointed as easily as they can in children.

CVS is hard to diagnose because no clear tests—such as a blood test or x ray—exist to identify it. A doctor must diagnose CVS by looking at symptoms and medical history and by excluding more common diseases or disorders that can also cause nausea and vomiting. Also, diagnosis takes time because doctors need to identify a pattern or cycle to the vomiting.

CVS cannot be cured. Treatment varies, but people with CVS are generally advised to get plenty of rest; sleep; and take medications that prevent a vomiting episode, stop or alleviate one that has already started, or relieve other symptoms.

The relationship between migraine and CVS is still unclear, but medical researchers believe that the two are related. First, migraine headaches, which cause severe pain in the head; abdominal migraine, which causes stomach pain; and CVS are all marked by severe symptoms that start quickly and end abruptly, followed by longer periods without pain or other symptoms.

Second, many of the situations that trigger CVS also trigger migraines. Those triggers include stress and excitement.

Third, research has shown that many children with CVS either have a family history of migraine or develop migraines as they grow older.

Because of the similarities between migraine and CVS, doctors treat some people with severe CVS with drugs that are also used for migraine headaches. The drugs are designed to prevent episodes, reduce their frequency, or lessen their severity.

One other thing, this disorder affects men and women alike. According to one source females show a slight predominance over males; the female-to-male ratio is 57:43

I hope this helps.

Greetings,

I'm 47 years old and have had this problem since I was a teenager. I've tried everything and it still doesn't stop. In fact, it seems to be getting worse the older I get. I quit eating breakfasts when I was in my teens because I wasn't able to swallow anything solid without throwing up. Now I normally can't eat before lunch time.
My nausea is not consistent; some mornings I feel it before I even get out of bed and some mornings it's not so bad. Sometimes all I do is just cough a bit and then it passes. On the bad mornings I'm on the bathroom floor doing dry heaves over the edge of the bathtub.
I've painfully observed my symptoms for most of my life. They are not linked to stress levels. I know that for sure. There does seem to be some link with my sinuses though. If I am congested during the night the nausea is worse in the morning when my sinuses start to open and drain. There is also a definite link to eating before bedtime. Normally I don't eat at least 6 hours before I go to sleep. If I do then I am guaranteed a fit of heaving in the morning. At those times it's often not dry heaving; there will be some real material in it. That being said, once I've heaved solids and got it out of me then the nausea is done. It goes away just like that.
I do have an acid problem due to an incompletely formed valve at the top of my stomach. This is inherited. My daughter has it as well. To treat the acid reflux that accompanies this I take Prilosec. I was on Ranitidine before but it got to the point it wasn't working all of the time. Prilosec really does the trick for acid but doesn't seem to have any effect on the nausea.

If anybody has any suggestions or input then please post. I would really appreciate anything you can offer. I've suffered from this all my life and would really love to get finished with it. Thanks.

Tim
