I have had a touch of flu for several weeks now and got a stomach bug a week ago. I have had mild diarrhea and heartburn for a week. I have been extremely dizzy and weak for a week now and cant even get out of bed. I have lost 5 lbs and am now 87 lbs. Should I go to the er or can I treat this at home? What should I do to treat it at home?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of diarrhea and heartburn which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis and electrolyte imbalance in body. It is due to gastroesophageal reflux disease as well which leads to excessive acid production in body. It could be due to poor immunity and increased susceptibility of getting infected. Need not to worry. Avoid hot, sharp and spicy food. You should take banana on daily basis and light food.  Chat Doctor.
