Bouts of vomiting are often associated with a short viruses or illness but there is a syndrome that causes reoccurring instances. CVS is characterized by episodes or cycles that begin with severe nausea and vomiting that can last for a few hours or even days and then completely cease until the next cycle occurs. Patient that is completely without symptoms bouncing back and forth full of energy and all of sudden they become sick and after a bit of time perfectly fine. Each episode of CVS is similar to previous ones meaning the episodes tend to start at the same time of day last the same length of time and occur with the same symptoms and level of intensity. CVS can begin at any age, usually we tend to see cyclic vomiting syndrome in kids between two years to six we can see younger than that and adolescents as well Common triggers in children include: emotional stress and excitement as well as an extreme change in temperature or foods like chocolate. Treatment varies by person but people with CVS generally improve after learning to control their symptoms. They may also be given medications that prevent a vomiting episode. Doctor Spinetti believes more people may have the disorder than commonly thought because other more common diseases and disorders also cause cycles of vomiting so they are often misdiagnosed at first.
