Hello doctor, I started feeling fatigued and nauseous three days ago. I threw up once three days and the nausea went away shortly after. Yesterday morning I started having diarrhea. I went to the bathroom 15 to 20 times for diarrhea despite taking Pepto-Bismol several times. I am still having diarrhea today but I only had to go to the bathroom three times in five hours. I am still feeling exhausted and have little appetite. I am a 20-year-old, female, with no other health conditions. I am currently taking Aubra (Levonorgestrel and Ethinylestradiol tablets) 0.1 mg/0.02 mg once daily.
Hi. You have lost quite a bit of fluid. You need to get rehydrated again. If your loose motion has not stopped, you need to take tablet Loperamide once, and you need IV saline to bring your BP up. It is better to get to the ER and get the IV saline first. Please go to the hospital now or ask someone to come over to your place to give you the IV saline. If you have a vomiting, do not eat anything as this will cause more vomiting and you will lose more fluid and electrolytes.
