What Causes Vomiting After Eating And Weight Loss?

My husband has been vomiting after eating meals for a very long time. it may not be every day but I would say at least 5 out of 7 days a week, at least one meal. Since last year he has lost 25 lbs. He works nights so he sleeps during the day. He has trouble sleeping during the day and when he doesn t work on the weekend he pretty much sleeps all of the time. He seems like he doesn t have a lot of energy anymore. We thought it was a specific kind of food that was causing this but it s not. Any thoughts on what it could be the problem?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi Thank you for posting your query in HCM. I can understand your concerns.
Based on the history provided by you is suggestive of these possible diseases. Gastroenteroreflux disease, peptic ulcer. Similar symptoms are seen in patients who are at risk in developing diabetes, having high blood sugar levels which would lead to ketoacidosis. Stress can also be the main reason. Persons working night times are very prone to develop gastritis, ulcer and lose weight as they have irregular intake of food.
I would advise you to consult gastroenterologist near you for further evaluation. Hope i have answered your question. If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
