Can vomiting kill you?

Normal vomiting from a bad stomach won't kill you, but you have to be careful about fluid loss. Keep sipping ORS water or salt-sugar water slowly at home. If you can't keep even water down for hours, go get an IV drip at a local clinic.

It is so scary when you are vomiting constantly and feel like your body is giving up. I remember crying during a bad bout of gastroenteritis because of the exhaustion. Please know you are not alone, but do seek medical help if you feel extremely weak.

I just recovered from severe food poisoning last week and was vomiting non-stop. Honestly, I felt so weak and dizzy I almost fainted. The doctor told me that if dehydration goes too far, it can actually cause kidney issues or worse, so don't take it lightly.

Does anyone else get severe chest tightness and shivering after throwing up? It makes me so anxious that my heart will stop. If it's this intense, we should definitely consult a professional rather than hoping it passes.

While rare, severe vomiting can lead to complications like aspiration pneumonia or a tear in the esophagus, which my family physician warned me about during my chronic gastritis phase. It is critical to address the root cause and maintain hydration levels.
