Doctor type ppl plz help?!
Question: Can you ppl plz vote on what this disease might me? I have narrowed it down a bit...
Migraine
Stomach Flu
Parasite
Inner ear infection
Brain Tumor
Something Psychological
The following has happened to me around 3 times, about every 2-3 weeks during the past 3 months:
First off, I start with a very mild headache at the front-left side of the head, slowly after 3-4 hours it gets worse, after that, I start to get a bit of nausea, gets worse over 20-30 min. Then I vomit 2 or more times, until I feel empty... I fall asleep, wake up and feel a bit better. I start drinking sips of Gatorade, and toast with later...Then I get a mild stomach ache, When I feel up to it, I eat a spicy chicken burger with a bit of soda and feel better. All that happens for 1-2 days and I lose about 2 pounds... The last one happened about 4 days ago, and I feel a very very mild headache right now... I have an appointment for Jan 18 for something else, I will try to talk about this as well

Migraines can cause the nausea and vomitting and over all malaise that you are feeling. They can last for a whole day or two, so that may be why you are feeling such prolonged misery.
Keep the appointment with your doctor, but in the meantime, get yourself some Excedrin Migraine. This contains caffiene, which is a good antidote for headaches. Also keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water.
May I suggest:
No Gatorade, maybe unsweet tea or water.
Unbreaded chicken strips, rather than spicy burger.
or just stop eating *anything* for a day or two.
The only disease I would slightly agree with on your list is a stomach flu. You do not have the symptoms of migraines since your headache comes after the vomiting, and as far as a parasite, it's very doubtful you have one unless you travel to third world countries a lot, and eat and drink the water. Inner ear infection is doubtful since your ear would be killing, and after 3 months your ear drum would have burst. Brain tumor is just insane, I don't know why people jump to thinking they have one so quickly. Your symptoms also don't fit for something psychological
To really give you a definite answer as to what is wrong with you over the internet, is nearly impossible. Due to the length of time that you've had your symptoms I'm doubting it's the stomach flu as well, your symptoms just fit that closest. It sounds more like there is some sort of allergen causing your issues, but your symptoms aren't consistent enough. I would try changing your diet. A spicy chicken burger doesn't sound like the best thing to be eating while you're having the stomach issues that you are.
Sounds like migraine to me based on your description. Lay off the spicy chicken burgers between attacks, that's not helping. Also try to find out what your migraine triggers are (i.e. fast foods or processed foods, lack of sleep, stressors etc).
Let's talk symptoms.
If you are vomiting, would suggest eating non-spicy items. Suggestions include dry toast (non butter or dairy) Steamed rice, boiled eggs, bananas, and perhaps an apple juice, Seven up or a non-citric gatorade.
Have you been consuming any alcholic beverages during this time? Do they coincide with the headaches and vomiting? Are you eating regularly?
Headaches can also be caused by low blood sugar and dehydration. Are you drinking enough water daily?
Have you taken any over the counter analgesics eg. aspirin tylenol etc?
Are you dieting?
With kind regards

I would suggest that the next time the same symptoms reappear, go to the clinic.
