Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.;
This condition in which all the counts of blood cells is increased t alarming levels is called polycythemia vera.
This is one of the reasons for sudden pain in abdomen and vomiting.
This is due to affection of the proximal part of the small intestine called as jejunum.
I would suggest you the following"
First of an opinion of a Hematologist to confirm the reason and to get treatment. You may need bone-marrow biopsy.
- Get another opinion of a General Surgeon to see the clinical picture.
- Barium studies to find the cause.

-The treatment will obviously depend upon the cause found.
I hope this answers your query.
