AB Nausea  and  vomiting  accompany  a  variety  of  illnesses.  Symptoms  may  be  due  to  primary  GI  disorders  such  as  bowel  obstruction  or  gastroenteritis.  However,  symptoms  may  also  represent  pathology  of  the  CNS  (increased  intracranial  pressure,  tumor),  psychiatric  conditions  (bulimia  nervosa,  anxiety),  endocrine  or  metabolic  abnormalities  (DKA,  hyponatremia),  or  iatrogenic  causes  (medications,  toxins).  Also,  nausea  and  vomiting  may  be  the  result  of  severe  pain,  myocardial  infarction,  sepsis,  or  other  systemic  illnesses.  A  comprehensive  history  and  physical  examination,  as  well  as  the  use  of  various  diagnostic  modalities,  are  needed  to  determine  the  cause  and  its  complications.
