What Causes Nausea Along With Headache And Dizziness?

Hi, I taught I had an indigestion... but I think it was food poisoning. I had shelled sea food for dinner. The following day I ate the left over that was always refrigerated. Then I felt nauseated, headache, dizzy, had cramps like I never had (like fire in my abdomen) and lower back. I am 79 yrs old and it is the first time in my life that I could not sleep because of the pain. I had also dyrrhea. The pain is gone, but I do not real 100% better after 5 days. I drank lots of water. Should I be checked by a Doctor to be on the safe side? Thank you for your answer.

Hi,

Your signs and symptoms suggest it is a case of gastrointestinal infection due to unhealthy food containing germs like bacteria.

Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fever and lack of appetite are common symptoms of such infections. As you have already relieved from it, there is no need to visit a physician. Your weakness is due to loss of fluids and nutrients from the infection.

You are advised to consume fresh fruits, healthy fruit drinks and curd. You will definitely feel fresh and energetic in a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Soheel Hussain Zargar,
Dentist
