Here is what happened to me last night:
Started feeling jittery--like you feel when you are sick kinda, but then my stomach was really aching/burning. then I started feeling sick to my stomach, cold sweats, hot sweats. (Feet, Underarms, etc) then felt like throwing up (I didn't though). Felt like I was going to have diarrhea, but it's normal. this kept me up all night, rolling around in bed, can't eat or REALLY drink anything. (Could take 'sip's of drink, but sometimes it made me wanna throw up).
Now, this morning, it died down, and I am fine. the only thing I still have is a kinda burning in my stomach. Now I DO have heart burn a lot, take Zantac all the time, and as many of you know, have been on pain medicine for hip/leg pains for 6 years or so..
But the THING is, this happened 2 months ago, almost the exact SAME thing, but worse then. I felt like I was going to pass out, I started kinda freaking out.. scared really. shit, I don't know.. but remember when I told you guys when I THOUGHT I had a reaction to VIOXX? Well, it must have not been.
All I could keep thinking of is:
1. If I threw up, I 'thought' it would be blood.
2. If I went '#2', it would be ..same as #1. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Now, yes, that could all just be in my mind, since I found my mom at 3am a year ago at 3am passed out almost, throwing up blood. (It was a bleeding ulcer--that's what started the find to cancer)
Anyway, I kinda feel like it may just be a 24 hr virus, because my sister a week ago had the same thing, but she DID throw up. but I have burning in my stomach a lot. as I said, I do take lots of Zantac, but I kinda think it's just been bad lately because of the situation with my Mom, and stuff.
Sorry for rattling on, I just need someone to give me some tips..
Do you think it's just a virus? Stomach virus or something? OR....
Do you think I may have a ulcer? (I've never coughed up blood or nothing). BUT, the first time I had this, a week later, I had a dark stool (blood?) But VIOXX did say it can cause bleeding of the stomach.. god, all these new drugs, I'm telling you guys, WATCH OUT for these. All these new drugs are not as well tested as the old drugs.
Anyway, please reply or email me with what you think, in your opinion.
PS: My diet isn't the 'best'. I drink gallons of Mt. Dew, and (Probably the first time you'll hear this here) smoke. (NOT much, less than a pack a day). *hears the sounds of countless gasps*
Anyway, I'm just a nut about my body being in good working order, and feeling these new odd things is weird. aging sucks.
Thanks!!
PS: That is why I wasn't on here Tuesday or answering emails.. ugh! [img]smile.gif[/img]
