My wife is 75. Worked very hard for two days trying to keep a lazy grandson working picking up sticks raking old leaves etc. Started nausea 2 hours ago and it has been recurring every 5 to 15 minutes. Some diarhhea. Bp a bit high for her but normal otherwise 117/77. Violent dry heavesl. no arm or chest pain. Is this cause for alarm?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Nausea and diarrhea may indicate that she has gastroenteritis which is inflammation/infection of the gastrointestinal tract. Though it can be due to viral or bacterial infection, viral infection is more common. There are medications that may be able to help her with the nausea e.g. Chat Doctor. The pesto Bishop would also help the diarrhea. She should rest as well. If the symptoms continue or worsen then she should see her doctor for assessment. I hope this helps
