What is Hyperemesis Gravidarum?

A severe form of morning sickness, where patients have significant vomiting and are typically unable to keep much food or fluids down. They can lose weight and become very dehydrated. The exact cause is unclear, but it's thought to be related to levels of pregnancy hormones (β-hCG and estrogen). Early treatment of morning sickness can help prevent progression to this severe form. There is typically no harm to the developing baby from this condition, but it is important to maintain normal hydration and weight in the mom.

Typical Symptoms of Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Diagnostic Questions for Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you been experiencing difficulty urinating or producing less urine?
  • Are you pregnant?
  • Is there any chance that you might be pregnant?
  • Have you been experiencing nausea or vomiting?
  • Have you experienced any changes in your sense of taste?

Treatment of Hyperemesis Gravidarum

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Some severely dehydrated patients may need hospitalization and fluids given through a needle in the vein (IV fluids). Medications can be given to reduce the nausea and vomiting, and help with tolerance of oral food and fluids. Many patients will have improvement in symptoms as the pregnancy advances into the second and third trimester.

Zofran for Women 30-45: Side Effects, Safety & Your Next Steps

A.

Zofran for women 30 to 45 can be highly effective for severe nausea from pregnancy, migraines, or surgery, but there are several factors to consider; common side effects include headache, constipation, dizziness, and flushing, and rare but serious risks include QT related heart rhythm problems and serotonin syndrome, especially with heart disease, electrolyte issues, or interacting medications. In pregnancy, most data are reassuring with a low absolute risk of certain defects, yet treatment should balance symptom severity against risks; review your meds and heart history with your clinician, stay hydrated, monitor for red flags like chest pain, fainting, irregular heartbeat, or confusion, and see the complete answer below for important details on interactions, dosing, and urgent next steps.
