Have you ever laughed so hard that you threw up?

Asked by Foxtrot (244points) April 21st, 2010

Strange question, I know.
But this has happened to me quite a few times..
I’ll start laughing and I can’t stop. Eventually, I’ll laugh so hard that I get sick. Which tickles and then I laugh more.

Is there a reason why this would happen?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Any interesting stories?

No, but I’ve farted, and had something come out my nose…...luckily not at the same time!

@bellusfemina It’s always the worst when you fart involuntarily at the start of a laugh when you don’t even have a chance to hold it back lol.

bellusfemina's avatar

haha…....yeah then you’re laughing for farting, and not for the orignial reason.

And then farting because you’re laughing. Until you’re one big mess of hysterical methane.

And you hope you didn’t shart, which could instantly cease the laughing.

bellusfemina's avatar

@erichw1504 Yeah, a shart is the worst thing ever.

Yeah I’ve farted and spit things from my mouth and stuff has come out the nose (and again thankfully not all at once), but never threw up

I have cried so hard I’ve thrown up before. Not very fun at all.

Wait, the throwing up tickles and makes you laugh more? That’s weird. But throwing up from laughing seems reasonable, never happened to me though. Once you get strong unconscious convulsions going through your body and throat, throwing up seems a possibility. I have snorted beverages out of my nose and all over my food, which almost made me sick in it’s own way.

I’ve laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe, gasping for air, turning red, tears dropping down my face. Just recently this happened when my father-in-law sang “She Will Be Loved” by Maroon 5 on Band Hero. Absolutely hilarious.

No, but I have laughed so hard I got a stomach ache. This was during the summer of 2003 I was at the community pool in Saint Helena California and his guy fell on the divingboard and into the pool.

I’ve laughed to the point where I felt like I was going to throw up, but that only happens after I eat.

I’ve laughed so hard I spewed pepsi out of my nose. Never threw up though.

No, but I’ve laughed so hard that it felt like my abdominal region was going to split apart and like I couldn’t breathe. Pretty much only my best friend Alicia can bring me to that point. :)

Coloma's avatar

I have wet my pants…lots of times! lol ( not now )

Parrappa's avatar

I’ve laughed so hard it hurts in my stomach, that is worst.

wtfrickinfrack's avatar

I’ve laughed myself into a gagging fit before… but I’ve never actually crossed over into full vomit mode

le_inferno's avatar

No, but I’ve full out peed myself… I was like, 13 years old too. Inexcusable. My best friend also did simultaneously. It’s actually quite a hilarious/disgusting story.
My best friend used to pee herself ALL THE TIME from laughing…

nailpolishfanatic's avatar

No! But I have laughed until I feel pain in my stomach:(

bluesea214's avatar

Sometimes I laugh really hard and my throat feels all dry and I’m about to throw up. But, luckily, I never actually HAVE thrown up lol
