  • Title: Hyperthyroidism as a cause of persistent vomiting.
    Author: Hoogendoorn EH, Cools BM.
    Journal: Neth J Med; 2004 Sep; 62(8):293-6. PubMed ID: 15588071.
    Abstract:
    A 32-year-old woman presented with persistent vomiting, epigastric pain and weight loss. A sinus tachycardia was the clue to the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism due to Graves' disease. On treatment with propylthiouracil and a beta-blocking agent, her symptoms resolved within one day, even though her free thyroxine level was still high. Hyperthyroidism is an uncommon, but previously reported cause of persistent vomiting.
