Sick?


Question Posted Saturday June 16 2007, 11:15 pm

I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I just don't feel good at all. I have really bad anxiety, but i'm not sure if that's it.

Two fridays ago i threw up, had panic attacks, and was feeling better by monday. On Monday, my symptoms changed, and I felt light headed and tired all the time. Probably because I had lost my appetite, which caused me to eat even less. That feeling continued all week until yesterday afternoon. I came home, and had eaten a full meal and felt a lot better.

But yesterday afternoon I went to a fair in my town where I ate ice cream and a soft pretzel, and went on rides that spun around a lot. Needless to say, not the best idea. I felt really queasy when I got home, so I went straight to bed.

When i woke up this morning around 9:00, i had diarrhea, and then went back to sleep until my brother woke me up at two in the afternoon. When i woke up i felt this knot in my throat, and I was really dizzy.

That feeling had continued and I really, really hate it.
What can I do to feel better?
Is this all in my head, or is there something really wrong with me?

If the kind of anxiety you're describing continues, see a physician because unfortunately it'll only get worse. There are medications that can help anxiety significantly if you're frequently experiencing it.

But I agree with isis. For the moment just get lots of rest and try to stay kind of low key.

Counselors are also good for helping find solutions to panic attacks that don't involve medication. Best of luck!

It sounds as though you are feeling under stress at the moment and possibly have picked up an infection on top of that. When we are feeling stressed it makes us more vulnerable to bugs unfortunately, which just makes things worse.

Try a bland diet for a few days, drink lots of water and rest as much as possible. Try to avoid getting stressed, which is hard I know.

If you're not better by the end of the week, you will probably need to see a doctor as there is always a chance there is something else going on.
