Vomiting
Caffeine intoxication occurs when someone consumes excessive amounts of caffeine. This can happen through the consumption of caffeinated beverages or by taking caffeine pills. In either case, the individual consumes more caffeine than their body can safely process.
In severe cases of caffeine intoxication, individuals may experience nausea and vomiting. This is believed to be caused by the same mechanism that leads to nausea and vomiting in other conditions, specifically by overstimulation of the digestive system. When the digestive system is overstimulated, it sends signals to the brain, telling it to expel the contents of the stomach. In some cases, this may happen before actual vomiting occurs.
Fortunately, there is no need for specialized treatment when dealing with most cases of caffeine intoxication. It is recommended to stop consuming caffeinated beverages or medications and allow time for the symptoms to resolve on their own. However, in severe cases where an individual experiences cardiovascular problems or difficulty breathing, it may be necessary to seek medical attention.
