Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to advise you that you should consult your doctor for clinical examination.

You should take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before meals, along with Domperidone 10 mg. This will help in controlling nausea and vomiting.

Some medicines can have side effects like nausea and vomiting and if present should be reported to the treating doctor.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
