Can lack of sleep cause vomiting?
After nights when I barely sleep, I often wake up feeling nauseous and sometimes even end up vomiting. This happens quite frequently now. Can a severe lack of sleep actually make me throw up like this?

Yes, extreme sleep deprivation can trigger severe acidity and nausea, which might lead to vomiting. Since I have high BP, I know how closely sleep and stomach health are linked. Keep track of your blood pressure and get a checkup if this continues.

Happened to me during my college exams. Slept for barely 2 hours, felt totally sick, and actually threw up in the morning. My doctor told me it was just severe acidity from lack of rest. A good nap fixed it.

Oh, I totally get this! Whenever I travel overnight and can't sleep, my stomach gets so upset and I end up throwing up. Drinking some warm ginger water or nimbu paani helps settle the stomach, but you really need that sleep to recover.
