Had Noodles In Dinner, Had Red Bull, Started Feeling Fainting, Naesous And Shaking. What Does That Mean?

So last night, I had to work 1pm-9pm and I ate noodles and had water for my dinner around 6:30. After that, I didn t have anything to eat, and I went to a club at 10pm until midnight but I ve been really sick prior so I got put on codine so I drank that and had a big redbull before I got into the club.. I was fine and hyper all during the club but I still didn t get to eat.. I then started to drink the rest of my redbull on my way home around 1 am and I started feeling faint, and naesous and I was shaking so bad. My whole entire body was shaking non stop, and I was feeling dizzy and I couldn t breath . What does that mean ?

Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it seems that you had an excessive gastritis due to irregular meals and alcohol and caffeine consumption. It is best to have a good wholesome nutritious diet divided into small portions six times a day to avoid any such happening in future. Avoiding any alcohol intake on an empty stomach will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Regards,

Hi,
As per your case history; you had not taken food for long time and then you have mentioned as'you got put on codine'.
When you take codeine on empty stomach; side effects increases.
Mentioned symptoms like feeling faint, nauseous, seizures and being not able to breath; are side effects of codeine.
Side effects got worsened because of hypoglycemia.
Never take Opiates unnecessarily and on empty stomach.
Take care.

Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
