Just started a job and am having a hard time

I (23M) just started a job in a hospital and worked my first day, went home and felt great! (I feel it’s important to say that this is my first job out of college, with around 1 years worth of experience in my field.)

Second day, I ended up getting a migraine at work, left early and cried when I got home which is very abnormal for me.

Now I have fallen into the cycle of waking up, feeling nauseous, getting a migraine from lack of eating, and then suffering the rest of the day until I wake up tomorrow and do it all again.

It’s been 5 days of this cycle and I feel so lost.

I have work again on Monday, but I am debating quitting because it requires me to ride up and down elevators pushing big things like carts, working in some hotter temperatures (85+ F°), and I’m doing manual labor.

I don’t knock anyone that can do this, I honestly envy you, but I just don’t think I can do this job anymore.

What do I do? I feel like things are crumbling apart. During school I was fine; sleeping in, doing massive papers and projects, and focusing on school, etc. but now it’s time to get a job. I searched for a job for 2-3 months and pulled strings where I could to even get myself this job.

Is my only real hope of long term success/ job security to either work remote due to disability or to start my own business? (Which may be even more difficult)

I feel so conflicted and can’t even bear the thought of riding an elevator again. What do I do.
