I feel sick...?!


Question: Last night I was at a party with my friends. Everyone was drinking except me. One of my friends got really sick because he didn't eat alot that day and doesn't usually drink. My throat's been hurting this week, but that was it. I also started working on Tuesday and my body's been really sore and I have gotten only about 5 hours of sleep a day. Today I fell asleep at 5 in the morning and woke up at 11:30. I started watching T.V. and fell asleep again until 2:30 something. I had a massive headache and I thought it was because I hadn't eaten. So, I just ate eggs and drank apple juice because I started to feel like throwing up. I still have a headache, my body aches, and when I stand up and go to another part of the house (I'm in my room with the heater on) I feel like throwing up a little and I get cold, even though it's not cold at all. I need help...what should I do? I feel like crap.

You could have the flu or just a cold virus. You need to increase your fluids and rest. Sleeping is good right now. You said you haven't gotten much sleep, therefore your immune system is not able to work hard enough to fight the virus or bacteria. Keep a check on your temperature and if you get one of 101 or above you need to call your physician. Presence of a temperature usually indicates a bacterial infection of some sort. Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Advil (ibuprofen) can be alternated every 6 hours to help with the symptoms if you are not allergic to these. If you are not vomiting but are still nauseated try the BRAT foods....bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. These will usually stay down. If you are vomiting or have diarrhea, don't eat anything to allow your GI system to rest. If you are not better within 2 days you need to see your doctor. Viruses usually only hang around 2 or 3 days and people usually try to stick it out before going to the doctor because there is no antibiotic that will kill a virus. The main thing is to prevent dehydration so see your doctor with a temp 101 or over, unrelenting nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Hope you feel better soon.

dont think about it watch a funny movie is always good

we're you smoking by any chance?

Sounds like your coming down with the flu. Unless you got your flu shot. But flu shots dont fully protect you. Drink lots of fluids and get lots of rest. If you would like to see a doctor, I advise seeing one. Sometimes the flu and be deadly. Feel better =]

Poor baby.

Take 2 aspirins and call me in the AM. You'll be OK. You almost sound like you're a human.

you shouldn't have went, its a punishment my boy

u sound like u r gettin a flu...take cold showers..it will help

Well, you're definitely coming down with something. I'm not a doctor so I don't know what, sounds like symptoms of the flu or something like that. I'd say take a weekend off and just relax, lie in bed, take it easy. If it gets worse, call your doctor. Good luck and feel better =)

Sounds like you got a stomache flu Drink lots of fluids ,sleep take an asprin or go see your doctor

Hey your probly coming down with a cold, the best thing to do is eat and sleep, also maybe what ever you ate at the party wasnt good anymore. You probly came down with a cold or something, just eat good and get alot of sleep.

These symptoms have been very common at work and people have been calling in sick anywhere from two to five days. My children also had this. They have found it best to sleep, sleep and sleep some more. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Hope you feel better soon.

You sound like you are possibly getting the flu. Poor thing. Rest and drink lots of water and OJ. If you get hungry eat fruit. If you do throw up it's not as bad as if you throw up eggs or something. Check your temp. if you can. You sound like you are doing good on taking care of yourself.

your getting the flu. that really sucks im sorry
