How can you stop dry heaves?

Answer 1

Dry heaves can be caused by lack of vitamins and nutrients (and water), an allergic reaction, over-eating, or even a stomach virus/bug.

What I suggest is consuming at least 8 cups of water a day. Most water bottles contain 16.9 fl. ounces (a little more than 2 cups), thus drinking 4 bottles a day. A pack of water bottles contain about 24 in most cases, lasting 6 days. But, not all people live alone so maybe less than 5 days.

So, keep multiple packs of water bottles in the kitchen, under the/a bed(s), in a closet (probably linen), or any where else it can be reached and opened in the middle of the night. Cold water is ok too.

So on a night or day when dry heaving, take out a water bottle and sit in a comfortable chair or sit up in your bed using adjusted pillows and take small sips of water so that you are rehydrating.

You can also do the same with flat soda so that you are keeping your sugar and energy up. try bits of dry crackers or toast to keep energy and nutrition up. Also try light lemonade or a few small and soft squeezes of lemon in a bottle so that the light amount of lemon can help to clear your system.

Try to get plenty of rest, water, nutrition, and three good meals on a regular day to keep in health. If you have eaten a specific or general type of food on the days and nights of dry heaving, you might be experiencing a small allergic reaction to that food. For me, it was beef and turkey ground. I ate some bad meatballs and threw up. Then when I was dry heaving i had eaten tacos or burgers or meatballs made out of the meat. I developed the allergic reaction during times I was sick, thus weakening my immune system.

If you are sick or just generally dry heaving, then stay away fromm that food. If burping when or after drinking water, it is one good sign. Not all people will burp immediatley or even at all when drinking water and that's ok. Burping is just an additional sign that you are doing ok. Try to keep calm when dry heaving or having the dry heaves or else your body will go into panic mode, increasing adrenaline.
