I spent a long weekend with my boyfriend but we couldn't afford much food so I lived for 3 days on 2 bags of maltessers from a vending machine (chocolate). anyway, I'm on the pill and had literally just finished my first 7 day break so was starting the second strip, except on the third day when we were coming back home, he had something to do so i sat waiting for a few hours and suddenly I felt really sick and had to run to throw up. I was fine that morning it wasn't until I had been sat waiting for a long time. we had had sex the night before but he never finishes inside me.
Anyway so I was feeling poorley and had some water but I still felt quite bad and was shakey, when we got outside and started walking again I felt much better but then we got on a bus and i felt it coming back, that was the last time though.
He thinks it was a sort of panic reaction because I get very nervous about traveling and it was my first time away from my mum so that makes sense plus I hadn't eaten pretty much anything decent for a while and by the afternoon I felt much better and was back to being myself (he bought me some chips and chicken when he had finished and I had a drink I am more used to as I don't drink much water normally).
So my question is, was I poorley for the reasons he thinks or could it be something serious? it was about three days ago and I havn't gone back to feeling bad since then, especially now I am home with my mum again.
Probably all it is--an overload of what you ate. We're not doctors but I'd venture to say that's all it is. Are you on any medicine especially something new or longstanding? That can do it if you miss dosages or anything like that.
I'm not sure how BC pills work when it comes to being on time or upchucking. With most pills a doctor told me if you had a previous dose 12 hours earlier and then vomited the second dose you should be fine as long as it stayed in you for about an 1hr to 2hrs. There's enough in your blood stream according to them.
You should get that panic issue seen to as it sounds medical and could be resolved with proper treatment. Also, if you feel shakey you need water big-time and to be hydrated. It should stop then. You need the water and should be drinking it often as not at all is bad. 3-4 or so bottles a day is about right sick or not.
Walkingdead answered Saturday August 13 2011, 8:20 pm: If I don't eat good or have lots of water, I get pale n shaky and my ears start ringing and then I get tunnel vision untill I black out. This usually happens after I have my period cuz I lose so much blood, but it happens to me a lot for some reason. I eat plenty n drink plenty, but I'm just born skinny so it's hard for me to gain weight. If this doesn't happen to you all the time then there's prolly nothing wrong, you just didn't eat good [ Walkingdead's advice column | Ask Walkingdead A Question ]

The question you asked would be hard to answer even with proper medical training. Whatever symptoms you had have passed, your feeling better so whatever was bothering you may have just been a passing malady.
A change in diet, anxiety over traveling, are factors that could have contributed to how you were feeling. It also could have been something in the junk food that didn't agree with you. It also could have been taking your birth control pill on an empty stomach. These are all possible contributors to how you felt. As you said once you ate some real food you felt better.
I, like you, can only guess at the cause. If you are still concerned, which it appears you are. Then I suggest you make an appointment with your doctor for a check-up. This would be the prudent thing to do and a check-up is never a wrong answer to a question such as the one you have asked. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
