Feeling really ill…

I have been unable to sleep all night and have been vomiting quite a lot! I feel freezing cold and shaky and really scared and like I cannot breathe! Can anybody tell me what this could be please? Thanks

sounds like a stomach virus, you are probably running a fever, hence the feeling cold and shaky. And especially if the difficulty breathing comes along with a wave of vomiting, that’s par for the course- if you live with your parents or someone else, it’s a good idea to tell them what’s going on so they can keep an eye on you and get you to the doc or ER if it becomes necessary. If you think you could somehow get and keep down a dose of tylenol that’ll help with the fever, and dramamine (over the counter motion sickness medicine) might help with the nausea, but if it’s a stomach virus it may not help and there’s not alot you can do except try to stay hydrated (sip along on some water, or maybe sprite or gatorade- small sips only), get as much rest as you can, and stay away from anyone else so they don’t catch it. A stomach virus will usually run it’s course in a day or two, sometimes as little as 12 hours. If the difficulty breathing, dizziness or weakness get too extreme call your doctor as these can also be signs of dehydration, which is the biggest concern with a stomach virus. And if it gets too unbearable, you can’t keep at least water down for more than a day, or if it persists past 2 or 3 days, you need to see a doctor- go to the ER if you have to at that point. Good luck sweetie, hope you feel better.
