My 21 year old boyfriend, gets severe nausea and sometimes vomiting whenever we enter or exit a room or building and the temperature changes. For example, when we are in a warm house, and its cold outside, if he goes outside, he will get really nauseous or actually vomit. Sometimes this will even happen if he feels a slight draft of cold air. It also happens if we are in a cold building and he goes outside to the warm or hot air. He will get really nauseous and sometimes vomit. He has no other medical conditions, besides a patch of white skin on his hand. We are really confused as to what this may be. If you could please help, that would greatly be appreciated.

 Hi,
I really couldn't find any connection between changes in temperature and nausea. As in any case of nausea a thorough history and examination is in order. Is he taking any medicines? A thorough nutritional history may help identify a culprit. Nausea is generally thought to be either related to central nervous system causes, vestibular (related to motion/equilibrium), GI causes, drug causes.
Nausea more than vomiting may also by related to psychological issues such as conditioning. We see it a lot in cancer patients that get nauseated as soon as they see anything related to the setting in which they received chemotherapy ... sometimes, that means seeing the friendly doctor... :)
... and please quit smoking! :)
Best regards,
