What is this? Sudden onset severe vomiting, diarrhea, rapid blood pressure changes, dizziness, fainting, etc.
Googling my symptoms keeps leading me to this sub and the syncope sub, but I don't feel like it quite fits. It's also not food poisoning. Please help, I feel like I'm dying.
About 2 years ago, i had 3 medical episodes where I suddenly, without warning, started uncontrollably vomiting and having diarrhea in the evening. The 3rd of these episodes led to me fainting in the bathroom and vomiting and shitting all over myself, and an ambulance was called. All the tests they ran looked normal and they just kept me until I felt better, and then discharged me.
A couple months after that I had my first identfiable gallbladder attack and had emergency surgery to get my gallbladder removed. I didn't have another one of those episodes, so I chalked it up to wonky gallbladder things.
However, it's happened again. It's nearly 7am; around 10pm last night i started vomiting and having diarrhea after feeling a little off all day. I nearly fainted in the bathroom again and was incredibly pale. I laid on the bathroom floor for a while and my blood pressure (i have an at-home cuff that's prescribed to me) was concerningly high when my husband checked it immediately after the dizzy spell. A couple minutes later, my blood pressure was normal. Checking it through the night it keeps both spiking high and going fairly low, coinciding with more bouts of dizziness ot vomiting.
I have been vomiting and having diarrhea all night. I feel unusually cold, and then I have a sudden hot flash, vomit, and sweat profusely all over. I do not have a fever.
All of my joints ache and I am havinging intermittent abdominal pain across my entire torso, at the level of my lower ribs. Probably from the vomiting?
My muscles are weak and I can't take care of myself, and I'm dizzy when I'm upright. My husband has been having to take care of me.
**I havent gone to the ER yet because last time I went, they couldnt find anything wrong and couldn't help me. If this continues for a few more hours I plan to go in, though.
Does this sound at all familiar to anyone? Please help. I'm terrified of these episodes and need to figure out what it is so I can avoid triggering them.
