Why Did I Throw Up Grey Without Having Breakfast And Feel Shaky And Nauseous ?

I am 19yo and I threw up grey. I havn't eaten breakfast yet. I had dinner and dessert yesterday but I dont feel 'sick' like no diarrea or anything. I feel VERY nauseous and a bit shakey. I threw up liquid before work, clear because all i had was water this morning. Then I sipped some water at work and threw up again. Then without consuming anything I threw up again but this time it tasted like metal/blood and it was grey! Then immediatley afterwards it was full on yellow bial that tasted...like bial i guess. What is going on?

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I suspect it might be due to food poisoning or indigestion.

The initial grey colored vomiting is due to mixing of the food you had yesterday and bile.
The after some episodes of grey vomitus you had bilious vomiting.

Nothing to worry about this.
You have to worry if you had recurrent episodes of coffee coloued or fresh blood vomiting.

Try to consume enough water and stay hydrated.
Once the nausea subsides, take bland diet initially and then normal diet.

If the nausea and vomiting continue for 2 or more days, then you must consult a doctor and need proper examination.

If you are my patient, i will prescribe some Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole with antiemetics.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
