Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome
What are the four phases of Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome?
CVS has four phases:
prodrome
episode
recovery
symptom-free interval
The prodrome phase signals that an episode of nausea and vomiting is about to begin. This phase, which is often marked by abdominal pain, can last from just a few minutes to several hours. Sometimes taking medicine early in the prodrome phase can stop an episode in progress. However, sometimes there is no warning: A person may simply wake up in the morning and begin vomiting.
The episode phase consists of nausea and vomiting; inability to eat, drink, or take medicines without vomiting; paleness; drowsiness; and exhaustion.
The recovery phase begins when the nausea and vomiting stop. Healthy color, appetite, and energy return.
The symptom-free interval phase is the period between episodes when no symptoms are present.
