Question : Hi, I had a sudden onset of nausea, sweats, headache and weakness cold sweats., -1 hour after yoga..went on for 4 days and improved. Then after breakfast this am it all came back at once. One of the things that is interesting is a change in stool color to lighter than my normal and muscle pinching that travels over body. I have sarcoidosis and am borderline diabetic. I am a fan of be gentle and wait this out. It is now the 5th day. I had a heart work up two years ago..doctor said I did not even have plaque. I have ruled out that. I have had lots of steroids over the years and have enlarged liver. Is this possibly liver? Gall bladder is out.
I think there was an error above. I ate breakfast an hour before yoga..but during a fold down then reach up exercise I got suddenly sick. I thought it might be food poisoning. So I went light on food. I was better..thought it might be over..had just a vague sense of nausea..after eating a piece of toast this am..it came on again. Just as aggressively..with out folding over -bending over. It is an overwhelming sense of nausea, dizziness, cold sweat and stomach upset and headache. I am not anxious or nervous. I thought possibly food poisoning because I ate 4 day old cooked sausage that morning. But just toast this morning.

Brief Answer:
Most likely you're having stomach flu.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. I'm Dr Anshul Varshney for your help.

It looks you have developed stomach infection and that is all causing these symptoms.

In such case I'd recommend following:

1. To take a combination antibiotic containing ofloxacin 200 mg and ornidazole 500 mg twice daily for 5 days.

2. A combination of Pantoprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 10mg once daily for 5 days.

3. Take soft and blend diet.

4. Avoid refrigerated food, canned food and milk products till you improve.

Please share my opinion with your doctor as these are prescription medicines and should be taken under proper guidance of your doctor.

I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Regards

Thank you. It sounds like it might not go away on its own. So I need to go to my doctor. I Forgot to say. That I am allergic to most antibiotics. When I take one I have to take prednisone to XXXXXXX hives. I was hoping for a more natural antibiotic. I think that you are recommending that I see my doctor. I appreciate the imput
