7yo vomiting/headaches

Posted By Sheri Allenwykes on October 14, 1997 at 22:06:09:









Since my son was about 1 year old, he has had episodes where he will vomit all night.
Before the age of 4, he would have these periods about once every one or two months.
As he's gotten older, they have become less frequent, but occur for longer periods of
time. Instead of one night, now he will go a few months and then vomit two nights in
a row. They start about 12:00 to 2:00 AM and go all night until about 8. For the day
he is fine. I tried to keep him upright, but this did not help. Now he is starting to
have bad headaches an hour or so before these vomiting episodes. He had reflux as an
infant, has tics and has been diagnosed with ADHD. After discussing this with his
doctor over the years, the doctor now wants to schedule a CAT scan. Has anyone else
experienced this problem, should I be worried?
Thanks for any help or advise you can offer.
