Nausea/vomiting

Sevenstars

I've been sick a lot of different ways in my life but this is a new one. For the past week-ish I've been growing increasingly nauseated (from 'sometimes' to 'all the time') and haven't been able to keep hardly anything down. Not to mention I don't even want to look at food.. everything seems terrible. : (

I've had some low grade fevers and I'm coughing a bit more, but usually when I get an infection I cough a TON more and get short of breath so I don't think it's that. Right now, the main problem is that I can't eat anything. Oh and I can't really sleep either... I've felt dazed and miserable for the past three days especially.

I plan to call the dr's monday but I'm wondering if anyone had something like this before? Maybe I'm overlooking something simple and obvious? (because I'm sleep deprived)

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like a virus to me!

Problem is that viruses often lead to lung infections so you need to stay on top of things.

Good Luck!

I have a g-tube and unfortunately the night feeds are what usually causes it for me. Since you didn't mention having one, yours must be something like a stomach virus. I had one 2 months ago and couldn't keep anything down either. My doctor gave me some Phenergan which helped somewhat. Zofran was really helpful, but couldn't afford it but once.

Drink lots of Sprite and try crackers, it might help.

I don't know if you were already sleep deprived before this or after, but when I'm nauseated and sick I can't sleep either. I just lie here feeling very uncomfortable and sleep on and off in bouts of 30 min at a time most of the night. It's very annoying. Try to get some of that Phenergan if you're still feeling this way Monday..it'll help you sleep as well.

No, I don't have a g tube. This just kind of came out of the blue, so I guess a virus does explain it pretty well. I just don't go out too much so I didn't expect to get something.

I've been drinking what I can, but I think I'm still getting dehydrated anyway... I just threw up the gatorade I had for breakfast. <img src=""> I'm tempted to access my port and just start getting fluids that way lol. Thank you for the tips on the medicines, I'll call my dr tomorrow and ask about them. The sleeplessness has only come after I got sick too... usually I take ambien but even WITH ambien (this past week) I'd still wake up every hour or two, so I feel even worse the next day because you're supposed to sleep straight through on it, no interruptions.

Thanks again *wanders off to sip on sprite and tea*
