Unusual Vomiting when I don't Expect it

Posted by phxbarb @phxbarb, Nov 28, 2025

I start out ok, doing a task, like raking leaves. Then suddenly I feel queasy, unwell and have to sit down. If I don't sit or lay down right away, I am in the kitchen vomiting in the sink. I have those little white pills ( O something) for nausea that can "catch" it sometimes. What is it?
I am older, age 83. Usually up and around and this limits me. Cannot go to Walmart and vomit there. Won't find a chair to sit in either.

@peterose Did you mean one angry old gut? I am at the same level you are. But don't let it go without the once a week or so clearing everything out. I was out of town, never good for constipation and I just let it go. Then came home and was totally immovable for a couple days. Dulcolax works for me, thank goodness. Not pleasant but it works. The GI doc recommended it.

@peterose Doctor suggested it. It's not that often. I can be regular occasionally for a couple weeks on my own. I keep track of it and just when it's too many days gone by, I use dulcolax. It really depends on my diet, exercise, and state of mind. Stress is brutal for me. I don't know what the magic ingredient is. If I did, I would sell it online.

@peterose All of me is 83. Legs included. I don't walk enough and I know it. I just like to sit, watch TV and surf the net. Do you get up in the morning and think " Is today the day?" I do, then get disappointed most of the time.
