A woman who frequently ended up in the hospital with intense bouts of vomiting turned out to have a mysterious syndrome tied to heavy marijuana use, according to a new report of the case.

The 27-year-old woman had been hospitalized six times in the last year with episodes of severe vomiting, according to the report, by Dr. Umesh Sharma, chair of the Division of Community Hospital Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. The woman reported experiencing nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain for two days prior to her most recent hospitalization. She described the pain as "squeezing" in her abdomen, along with a "bruised and sore" feeling in her back, the report said.
