Do kidney stones make you throw up?

I've been experiencing really bad pain in my side, and it's accompanied by quite a lot of nausea and throwing up. Can kidney stones cause you to vomit like this?

Oh, they definitely turn your stomach into a roller coaster! The pain is so intense that your brain gets confused and decides to empty your stomach as a bonus. Don't worry, it is a very common reaction to severe pain and goes away once the stone is sorted.

The severe pain from stones can definitely cause nausea and vomiting. Drinking a little ginger tea can help settle your stomach temporarily. However, if you cannot keep any liquids down or have a fever, please see a doctor right away.

Actually yaar, when I had my attack, I threw up twice because the pain in my back was just too crazy. It is completely normal for stones to cause that. Just make sure to visit a doctor because you can get dehydrated very fast.

Yes, that intense pain can definitely make you feel super nauseous and throw up. It is a very common body reaction, so don't get too scared. Just take deep breaths and get some medical help to ease the pain.

Vomiting is a sign that your body is under extreme stress from the pain. It is highly recommended to get a medical consultation immediately to ensure there is no kidney block or infection. Please do not ignore this symptom.

Yes, they do. The kidneys and the gastrointestinal tract share the same nerve pathways, which is why intense kidney pain often triggers vomiting. If this is happening, you might need an injection for both the pain and the vomiting, so visiting a clinic is best.

The extreme pain can shoot your blood pressure up and trigger vomiting easily. I experienced this during my stone episode, and it was quite stressful for my heart. Please get your BP and kidneys checked together by a proper doctor.

Yes, nausea and vomiting are standard symptoms when the pain level peaks. Don't try to tolerate it or wait at home. Go to an emergency room, get an IV painkiller and anti-emetic, and you will feel relief within half an hour.
