Has your mother been checked for kidney failure?  Nausea and vomitting is a symptom of the kidneys shutting down.  

I understand that CHF can be caused by kidney failure also, as the kidney and heart work very closely together.

I'm am not a doctor, but I have experienced CHF and am at statge 5 kidney failure, also known as End Stage Renal Disease.  I have been through the nausea and vomitting, and severe swelling from the CHF, and now I do dialysis 6 days a week.  

Considering where I was a year ago, I feel healthy.


I hope this helps......

My mom has chf, hypertension,and she is also diabetes and for the past year she has been nausea and vomiting. She is in and out of the hospital almost every month for the past year. The doctors cannot come up with a solution to stop the vomiting, it will stop for a few days and start all over again. My mom is tired of going to the hospital. She is on all these medication and nothing seems to help.Can someone please give me some advice. Desperately need help
