For the past 3 weeks I've been feeling not well. The first day I was sick (3 weeks ago) I was dizzy and was vomiting all day. I felt much better the next day and since then, but I still get dizzy at least a few times a day and sometimes it's so bad I have to lay down perfectly still or I'll feel nauseous and headachey. I'm not the kind of person who goes to the doctor about things like this because it's never anything. (and I have to drive 45 mins to get to my doctor's office) Any idea on what it could be?
-
General feeling of unwellness
-
did your eating habbits change ? started / stopped doing sports ?
-
Eating habits are the same. Eating less, but enough. The only thing I can really think of that changed was my sugar intake. I eat less sugar now, but that shouldn't be making me feel sick. As for sports, I don't play any.
-
I usually assume if I'm feeling unwell that it's a virus and just needs rest, but three weeks as bad as this means it's time to see a doctor. Dizziness could mean an ear infection, though there are many other possibilities.
-
what about :" start to eat healthy and get active "?
-
I do eat quite healthily and just because I don't play sports, that doesn't mean I'm not active.
-
maybe your body just has to get used to the smaller shugar intake
-
I've thought of that. I'm afraid that I'll get mono again. I had it twice in 2 years and it's not pleasant.
-
mono ?
-
Mononucleosis, also known as glandular fever. A disease that can knock you about for months, common in young people, mainly spread by saliva, especially kissing.
-
Ha! Kissing. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: The first time I got mono was before I had ever kissed a guy.
-
#1 EBV is contagious - it is transmitted through the saliva of an infected person by coughing, sneezing, and kissing:" The best treatment for infectious mono is plenty of rest, especially earlier in the course of the illness when symptoms are the worst. Acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or ibuprofen (such as Motrin) can help to relieve the fever and aching muscles. Never give aspirin to a child who has a viral illness because the use of aspirin in such cases has been associated with the development of Reye syndrome, which can lead to liver failure and death.After recovery, adolescents frequently are advised not to play sports for at least 1 month. Children with enlarged spleens should avoid contact sports (even wrestling with friends or siblings at home). Sometimes fatigue from mono may persist for a few months, and in this case, any kind of vigorous activity or exercise should be avoided. Any child with an enlarged spleen from infectious mono should be examined by the child's doctor for medical approval before returning to contact sports.check out :" http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/mononucleosis.htmlandhttp://familydoctor.org/077.xml

I read that Mononucleosis illness generally goes away without medical help. However, it may last from weeks to months. Treatment is mainly to ease symptoms, usually at home, with plenty of rest and fluids. You can read more here

Ever had your sugar tested? Maybe you are diabetic or hypoglycemic or homoglycemic. I have low sugar and feel very dizzy and nauseated and tired if it gets too low.

Naw, don't know what it was, but I'm feeling pretty good these days. I had a cold over Christmas, a few weeks after I started to feel out of sorts and it's all cleared up at last. I do get dizzy when my blood sugar is low, but so does everyone if they haven't eaten in a while (if it's not diabetes related) Thanks for the input though.
