Sounds like valley fever or other type fungal infection .. In the digestive tract or respiratory tract or both... The fungus is trying to invade the bile duct.. The liver perceives it as an attack and floods the stomach with bile in an attempt to flush the bile duct..

The patient wakes up and moves to the upright position.. A headache comes on.. Then puking and heaving starts.. Once the body has puked the bile out of their stomach the headache subsides..

Make an appointment with an good infectious disease doctor.. This is approaching an epidemic and is common in ca and the southwest as well as the Mississippi valley.. East coast~? Not so common so you may have to twist some arms.. Have them screen blood, urine, respiratory tract for.. Coccidioidomycosis, Histoplasmosis, Candida albicans, non Candida albicans, Invasive Aspergillosis, Basically all systemic fungal diseases..

Some other symptoms might include~? Grinding teeth, biting nails, acid indigestion, headache, stiff neck and irritability..

If you get no satisfaction~? Get in the car.. drive to Jacksonville Florida.. Rent a room near the beach for a month and check into the mayo clinic.. They'll figure you out quick, quick.. Not anymore expensive than seeing your local doctor.. other than the travel..
