Feeling Nauseous

[tiggerblue10]

Felt nauseous last night but managed to get some sleep. Since I've been up I've thrown up a few times. I've tried fresh ginger in boiled water which hasn't worked. My mum also insisted on diluted fresh lemon which again hasn't worked. Every time i move my head spins and I feel dizzy.

Have I got food poisoning? What else can cause this? I can just about look at my tablet screen.

what about vertigo?

Could be an inner ear disturbance, try to rest.

////Have I got food poisoning?////.

I doubt it. On the scraps of information given, my best guess is that it is a viral infection of the inner ear (vestibular neuronitis).
Nobig deal, no antibiotics needed, just rest and perhaps Ibuprofen if you develop a temperature.
It should only last about 4-5 days.

Been drifting in and out of sleep since vomiting this morning. Retched a couple of times too.

It's weird because I felt the same last Wed or Thur but without being sick.

Many years ago, I started having these symptoms - diagnosed as labyrinthitis. It continued sporadically and further investigation changed the diagnosis to Meniere's Syndrome.

gingejbee......a not uncommon sequence of events.

Just managed to eat a piece of dry toast and plain rice and lentil soup. And herbal tea. Hope it all stays down!

Strange that it happened last Wednesday and Thursday als

[Barsel]

Sorry I accidently pressed send. Was going to ask, do you eat the same foodstuffs on those days?

[Patsy33]

Sounds like some sort of virus, as others have mentioned. Just stuck to bland food and water for a couple if days. Also, might be useful to keep a food diary. Hope you feel better very soon.x

[tiggerblue10]

No, been eating different foods each day.

[tiggerblue10]

Thanks Patsy and all x

These all sound like symptoms of iron deficiency anemia.

[tiggerblue10]

Still feeling a nauseous today but doesn't seem to be as bad as yesterday. Threw up again last night after taking some paracetamol. Is it true you can have a fear of vomiting?

Hope it gets sorted soon and you feel better Tigger.

Have you managed to speak to gp. I know it is a phone consultation but that might help you. If you haven't than I suggest you give him a ring
