Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) - Brooklyn NY

Summary:

Cyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) is a chronic condition in which people have episodes of severe nausea and vomiting that alternate with periods during which they feel normal.

• CVS symptoms are often triggered by stress and frequently occur “out of the blue”
• Many people report that episodes occur early in the morning, with some people reporting a seasonal variation to their symptoms
• CVS can be divided into 4 phases: the prodromal phase, the emetic phase, the recovery phase, and the asymptomatic phase
• People with CVS might also have other medical conditions such as migraine, anxiety, or depression
• Many people with CVS are often misdiagnosed as having the stomach flu, food poisoning, or gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach)

• Episodes of vomiting that come on suddenly and last from 1-6 days,
