Feeling sick lately

katerzz · 08-22-2005, 03:22 AM

Curious if anyone has experience with this...

The last few weeks about every few days or so I get sick to my stomach.. like not puking (feels like it tho!) and not necessarily the other end kinda sick.. just realllllly icky feeling. Tonight it was about 4-5 hours after I ate like normal all of a sudden I got chills and literally felt like i was going to die. I sat on the bathroom floor for almost 30 mins thinking I was going to throw up. My whole body was freezing, but I was sweating at the same time.

Any other time I feel fine, just every few days about 4-5 hours after dinner its like BAM. I can drink water and it goes down just fine unless its mid-sick feeling then it just makes me feel worse.

Its not like im not chewing or eating to fast and its been happening a lot lately. I usually will take a gas-x chewable thingie but last few times it hasnt done anything for it. My whole body hurts from my stomach to my shoulders my lower back throbs.. its very odd to me.

For those of you who are gonna ask, no I'm not pregnant I had a sudden feeling that was possible so i ran out and got a stick and it was negitive.

sooooooooooooooooo anyone experience this? =/

Definitely definitely negative? I spent days in the backyard holding tests up to the sunlight, trying to convince myself I couldnt see a second line, but it was there, just very faint.

Otherwise, I dont know, I wonder if you're blood sugars are all messed up from eating less or something? Just a guess. Its the only thing I could think of that would make you shaky and sick like that - perhaps a small protein snack two or three hours after your meal and see if that helps?

I'd see the doctor about it otherwise.

I agree. Sounds like your blood sugar.

Hi:

I am going to be going for the LAP-BAND^® operation either in late September or early October. Can anyone give me any tips that might help?

Thank you.

i am only 2 weeks post-op but I am getting the same thing it has only happened 3x but I think i ate mash potaotes really thin but I guess not thin enought and soup with pastina and it happened then. I am associating it with food differences, But it really hurts and I do sweat I think because of the pain. Today it happened and I am not sure why this time. but a couple of hours a some good belches and I felt better

Hi,
You might have problems with your gallblader I have had some problems with gallstones they are really bad feels almost like a heart attach but I also have had some stomach problems just feels like you are going to throw up but don't try not eating any grease butter and no dairy for a few meals and see if you feel better I know that when I eat to much dairy or grease that I get that sick feeling and it last for several hours then goes away. Sometime comes back the next time I eat the things like grease dairy anf other times it does not. When I had a stone stuck it was hell had to go to the ER I really thought I was having a heartache. It passed and I was better about 8 hours later I was PG so I could not have the surgery. I think next month I will have it take out .
Take care Tracey

I have two thoughts: 1) Is it possible that you've contracted a little flu? Do you have any fever or other flu-like symptoms? You may also have some infection somewhere.
2) Do you have your gallbladder? When people begin to lose weight quickly, gallstones tend to act up and you may be having acute gallbladder attacks. I had these for some time (I thought they were gastric reflux or something else), and during them - you feel like you're going to die with horrible stomach pain that can radiate to your back, sweating, etc. I was often doubled over in pain (for me, which is unusual, Zantac helped). Not until the pre-op work-up during the abdominal ultrasound did I learn that I had gallstones. My doctor insisted that I have the gallbladder removed before I could have surgery because of the very fact that gallstones are aggrevated by weight loss.

I suggest that you be sure to watch the situation closely and call your doctor! It may be a simple answer, or it may have nothing to do with the way you're eating! Hope you feel back to normal ASAP!!!

Sweetie, blood sugar is not about eating sugar. It's about how much insulin your body releases when you eat. Some folks, their body does too much insulin and that causes blood sugar to drop and you get symptoms much like yours.

I just suggest seeing your doctor right away. Don't hesitate on weird things like this.

Can't carbs (like potato) affect your blood sugar too?

katerzz · 08-23-2005, 12:58 AM

Katie,

Sorry to hear about the emergency surgery, but I am glad you got the problem found and fixed.

Best wishes on your recovery.
