Cannabinoid hypermesis syndrome (CHS) was first reported in Australia in 2004, and it's in the news again after a Missoulianarticle came out about the disease this month.
CHS causes recurring nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Symptoms have reportedly improved after patients take a hot shower or bath or stop using cannabis.
Two doctors from Denver Health Medical Center were quoted in the article, which has been circulated by the AP and other national news outlets.
"You can think of it as a new or emerging disease," said Dr. Eric Lavona, chief of emergency medicine at Denver Health. In the article he cautions his colleagues to "be careful not to trivialize [CHS]. These folks are really suffering. They can get pretty sick. They vomit like crazy and make frequent emergency department visits because they just can't stop vomiting.”
