Why am I feeling so awful?!
Question: I've been sleeping most of the day yesterday and today. Yesterday I stood up from my bed, took a few steps, and felt as though I was going to faint. I could feel my eyes rolling back as I started to stumble backwards, but caught myself from falling. I have been eating a lot these past two days so it wasn't due to not eating. I decided to drink/eat something, but it hasn't helped. I took 5 sips of O.J this morning, and feel asleep for 4 hours.
I have recently lost a large amount of weight.
What do you think is wrong?

Had a mini panic attack for you for a sec. Feeling faint could mean many things, seeing a doctor is still important. Check your blood sugar and think about how much you had to drink today.
Try drinking water... you might be dehydrated.
Sounds like a flu of some form, or food poisoning.
If you've recently lost a lot of weight, maybe you are malnourished? Why have you lost so much weight?
Well this possibly could be due to some stress that is happening in your life. But it also could be a prolonged sleeping disorder or something. I think that you have a fever because I know when I get a fever I sleep longer. Try taking your fever to see if you have one and try drinking a lot of fluids. I hope you get better :]
I was going to suggest low blood pressure but this seems unlikely because you said you have eaten quite a bit.
Your symptoms are quite unusual for the circumstances but you have stated that you have recently lost lots of weight. I don't know how much weight you have lost but i hope you were under medical supervision.
I think you need to be under medical supervision right now.
Go to your nearest doctor if you can if you are still feeling rough tomorrow. Your health is nothing to mess with.
