ok as some of you may know, i finally got a job, well my first assignment started today, and 5 hours or so into it, i start feeling like utter and complete crap, dizzy,headache,close to vomiting, rubberish like limbs, the work was basically moving boxes of books and such so does anyone have any idea what it might be?, ive had problems like this before so should i see a doctor or an allergist or something?

Question
-
I suspect it's a combination of stress - starting a new job is always stressful - plus not being used to the hard physical demands of the job. If I'm right, you should find that it will get better with time.
-
well it wasnt really all that stressful, that i noticed anyway, but could it really be the physical part?
-
These things can be insidious, acting when you don't realise they are.
-
ooo i see, but could it be anything else? because my mom does have a lot of allergies, as well as ive never had a physical so
-
The fact that all this happened as soon as you started your job shows that it's probably job-related.
-
yeah your probably right, but im wondering whether or not i should rule out a medical possibility?
-
Just wait and see what happens. If you still have this problem in a week or so, I'd start worrying about a medical issue.
-
ok i see, what im more apprehensive about is the idea of basically screwing them out of it if it is medical, and the fact that im just a temp so im not sure if theyd wait which i understand because they need people to work
-
Most people find it takes a bit of time to get used to a new job. A new job like you have is probably working out muscles you haven't been working nearly as much before. Limbs feeling rubbery is very suggestive of that.
-
ok well i went in again yesterday, and despite some soreness everything was fine, hell i couldve stood to go a few more hours, although i did take some non drowsy type medicine
-
That sounds good.Even just being on your feet all day when you haven't been doing that before can take a bit of getting used to.
