Suggest Treatment For Severe Fatigue And Diarrhea

default
Posted on Mon, 12 Dec 2016
Question: I had a very bad reaction to ingesting pot brownies three nights ago. Had to go to the hospital because it felt like i was having a heart attack and was going to die. They released me and my blood tests were gone but three days later I'm still tired, woozy, lethargic and having diarrhea. Is there anything I can do to help clear these symptoms?

Brief Answer:
Seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You probably have an episode of gastroenteritis. ORS (oral rehydration solution) is the mainstay of treatment. It will help in correcting the salt imbalance and dehydration that you likely have. These are likely to be responsible for the mentioned symptoms. You have to be patient. Replenishing the lost water and fluids should help in correcting your problems. It may take a day or two.

Let me know if I could help further.
