Suggest Remedy For Nausea, Stomach Flu, Pain Under The Breast Bone
Question: Yes, I am hoping that you can help me decide if I should have my symptoms checked. I have been feeling nauseas for the past week and it seems to be getting worse. I am starting to get sharp pains underneath my breast bone and feel week. I am having to push myself to get moving. I am generally a very energetic person. I have also having some looser stools and that is definitely not normal for me. I thought that maybe I have the stomach flu, but am not sure what to do?
