Suffering From Diarrhea. Severe Headache, Feeling Tired. What Is The Problem?
I started having diarrhea yesterday afternoon, then starting from later that night continued to have black, loose, watery diarrhea almost every hour. It's left me with little sleep, I have a major headache (probably brought on by the lack of sleep) and currently have a warm forehead. No vomiting to speak of. Anything like the headache or feeling tired can be attributed to lack of sleep.

Hi,
Based on details you had acute enteritis ( diarrhoea) and now you have headache.
Headache and generalized weakness can be due to decrease sleep.
Have plenty of fluids especially electrolyte solution /ORS as per loss.
However if headache is persistent and worrisome, you need to consult Neurologist for clinical examination , need to rule out cerebral sinus venous thrombosis secondary to diarrhoea and dehydration.
Regards
