Question Posted Wednesday January 3 2007, 11:09 am
for the past 5 days my stomach has been upset. but over those 5 days ive started throwing up alot using the bathroom alot and getting dizzy also. everytime i stand up to go to the bathroom i feel like im about to fall because i feel so dizzy. my dad says to just drink lots of fluids but that doesnt seem to be helping haha ive been taking pepto-bismol and dayquil and nightquil. any advice on what i can take for my dizzyness (its the dizzyness like when you first get up in the morning and everythings off track)

Brandi_S answered Wednesday January 3 2007, 2:18 pm: Sounds to me like you may have some sort of bad stomach flu. Since it has been for 5 days, I would advise you go see a doctor about it. It may be something serious.
As for the dizziness, It may be caused by the DayQuil and NyQuil. Do you have a bad cold? That is what those medicines are for. If you don't you shouldn't be taking them. They are to relieve coughing, sneezing, and congestion. Not upset stomachs. Taking medicine you don't need can only do more harm than good.
Try to see how you feel in the morning after not taking them all day the previous day.
The Pepto-Bismol is okay to take.
I still say that if your stomach problems have been going on this long you should see a doctor. At least call the office and ask what you should do. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

I bet they sell them in any drug store.
Good luck
fell better
hope I helped! [ pinkfox's advice column | Ask pinkfox A Question ]
