Could Nausea Spells Be A Result Of A Graver Problem?

I have been having random nausea spells for the past couple weeks. I threw up a little bit ago. Now that I Think about it, I have had random nausea spells for a couple years now. I don't have health insurance, so I don't want to go rush to the doctor but I fear this could be something serious...

Hello
As you mentioned that you are having NAUSEA from last many years & sometimes vomiting also , so these two are related to each other . First nausea thereafter vomiting ( if severe nausea).
Reasons in your case may be as-
1 Anxiety or tension .
2 Fried food , fatty food , greasy , oily , spicy foods
3 Over eating is another such cause of nausea .
You should be worried but not too much.
Take these measures and you will get relief.
1 Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with the blocks. It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2 hours before you lie down. To help control stomach acid one should not drink alcohol or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods.
Also take some ANTACID ( IF OXETACAINE IN IT VERY GOOD ) , but if symptoms are severe you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors like pantaprazole-D .
Act as I mentioned above and you will remain symptoms free.
Good luck.
