If you have not already done so, you might want to call your doctor or local ER and discuss the vomiting. Also make sure your husband is not dehydrated. Give warm water, and perhaps make some broth with chicken and vegetables to restore electrolytes. In fact if you have any rehydration solution or Gatorade type liquid, that would be good. They had a report this morning from a doctor saying it was a bad idea to have two cups of coffee and then go out and dig because dehydration was likely.

Thank you, gleeaikin. He doesn’t drink coffee or anything with caffeine usually and hadn’t had anything but water and eggs for breakfast. I gave him hot tea with honey when he came inside just to warm up. Then about an hour later he vomited like crazy. He’s doing ok right now and hasn’t eaten but giving sips of water.He’s hydrated (so far). He refuses to eat the pastina soup or anything right now. He wants OJ but I’m not sure that’s a good idea?

I googled after the vomiting and saw it is one of the symptoms of heart issues/attack given the exertion of shoveling all that snow. He’s fit and active but has been on high blood pressure medicine since he was 25.
