Suddenly felt sick to my stomach dizzy, weak, and loss of coordination. It happened after work today. I had some feral thinking I was just hungry and it didn't help. Took some Pepto and don't help. I dot honk I have to go to the bathroom. I don't know what to do. I almost am so fozzy I don't tray mysel to walk. It's even hard to type this email. Thing is, I live alone with 2 dogs. I'm at the point I don't even think I can take then outside. Do I call the doc? Maybe call my parents who live an hr away to come - have my mom stay wih me for the day on sat? I don't remember feeling this sick in a while. No fever. Took stuff thinking maybe I had motion sickness but it didn't help at all. Not prego or dehydrated and nothing I ate that could be food poisoning. Suggestions?

Your symptoms are concerning. it depends on how bad you feel. Trust your gut. If you think deep down that something is very wrong then I would call. or you can go to emergency.

I've seen a few people display the symptoms you mentioned while having no fever, well-hydrated and sufficiently ate. The most likely causes require immediate medical care and observation. Call the ambulance right away or call your doctor to tell him/her you need an ambulance if you cannot dial the numbers. If you have had similar symptoms without fever, dehydrated or malnutrition, then it's even more imperative you get treatment and observation.

Oh I am so glad you are feeling better. I was so worried about you. I hope you will consider calling your doctor anyways especially since you can't think of anything that could have caused your symptoms. Your body was trying tell you something...

Yea I probably will. I feel like I'm always calling my primary doc tho and he prob thinks I'm a complainer. Maybe they can do some Bloodwork or whatever.

I know how you feel about not wanting to bother your doctor too much but I would rather you be safe than sorry. I'm sure he would think that too. and I didn't even think to suggest you call 911 last night. We all tend to not want to "bother" others. (I am like that too) not saying this is what happened last night but just bear in mind some health problems can come on suddenly (eg heart attack/stroke) and really need to be looked into asap. I know I am nagging but it's only because I care.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
