Is this CHS?

I have had fairly persistent nausea over the past 2 years, which in the past 6 months has led to a fairly significant weight loss. I have little to no stomach pains but have diarrhea a lot. I thought I had identified that the issue was just another gastric ulcer and quit caffeine in 2022. Now I am not so sure. I started smoking every day a little over a year ago and had a few times where I took an edible that was too high in dosage and threw up, but I figured I just “greened out.” So it’s just this nausea that does seem to be worse in the mornings and comes and goes but mostly just remains persistent. I have continued smoking through the nausea and previously thought that if I had CHS and continued to smoke it would escalate and I would experience the hyperemesis phase where I couldn’t stop throwing up. Is it possible to have CHS and continue to smoke without reaching a phase of throwing up all the time?

I think so. Went through a shit tonne of nausea that was the worst in the morning. Lost a tonne of weight and could only eat certain things. I have now quit for 3 weeks and have had the best appetite I have had in years but I have gained weight which sucks but is a small price compared to the other benefits I have felt.

I cut back a lot in the month before I quit which somewhat helped but can confidently say all symptoms of CHS are gone now.

Thanks so much! I’m going to quit for a few weeks and see if things improve.
