What Is The Cause Of Vomiting With The Pain In The Legs?

Hi My mom is vomiting and has pain in her legs. (she has a hart condition) Could it be she just caught a virus that s going around because I ve been very sick myself from a virus. Maybe I passed it on to her? I had pain all over my body but no vomiting.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post is attributed to either infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.
The pain is legs can be attributed to loss of body electrolytes due to repeated vomiting.

Presenting with such symptoms, I usually treat my patients with:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) for maintaining the hydration status of the body.
4. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
5. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist & get a proper physical examination done.
Investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolytes & Ultrasound scan of abdomen will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

There is no need to worry, she will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
