What Causes Nausea, Dizziness And Shortness Of Breath?

So I ve had this weird feeling like my belly button and urethra are attached by a string and that string is being tugged on. It s happened to me before, usually when i stretch my arms over my head, but typically it goes away within a couple minutes. However, this morning I stretched and that tugging feeling happened again, only this time it was the most painful thing i ve ever felt. After that happened I couldn t stand up straight for hours (whenever I straightened my body out it felt like that string was being pulled tighter and tighter) , I was nauseas, dizzy, short of breath, had difficulty concentrating, very lethargic...what possibly could have caused this??

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the nausea, dizziness and shortness of breath are in concern with some sort of intestine infection via bacteria or virus, giving intestine stretching:
Nausea and the dizziness with short breath are secondary sequence of underlying anxiety due to the pain or sudden onset.

It does not sound to be in concern with string attachment of belly button and urethra which does not show up as this. My guidelines at present:
- Take deep breaths and try to relax yourself
- Drink some liquids as cold drink or lemon juice
- If available nearby, capsule omeprazole with sips of water to combat acute gastric upset

Call your primary care for further guidelines.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
