Vomiting
Nausea that accompanies papilledema can lead to vomiting. This can be described as the sudden and forceful expulsion of the stomach's contents through the mouth.
Patients who experience persistent vomiting may begin to feel the effects of dehydration. Taking small sips of water or electrolyte drinks may help to replenish fluids. While many things can cause vomiting, in combination with other symptoms and prolonged nausea, medical attention might be necessary.
