Not Feeling Well



Recommended Posts

I swallowed a whole Multivitamin today which I normally don't do and I've been feeling really sick all day. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone before? Please help!

Try something warm to make it disolve faster. I do not encourge this, but it is super easy to vomit if it has not been too long since you swallowed it. I do not make it a practice to do this but every now and then as I try new stuff and it does not agree I will. Now don't everyone rush to tell me how dangerous it is, I have only done it 2 or 3 times in 6 months.

Deek- i'm not sure what you are saying is unsafe? Drinking something warm makes perfect sense.

Oh, I reread it. You are suggesting vomiting. I think it may be too late.

to vomit on purpose is what I was referring as unsafe. I do thinking drinking something warm should be the first choice

Something similar happemed to me last night. I took my pills too close together and the last one that was a gel one, kinda got stuck and I did go throw becasue I had the earge. I HATE to throw up! But it was acidic. Just walk it off, it helps when I just walk and walk. I cut my pills in half because for whatever reason I have trouble swallowing some of them. space them out and take little sips of Water. Hope it helps!

might help to try and eat something to absorb some of it. Vitamins have always made me sick. I try taking them with food and it helps.

I had to take 4 huge antibiotics for dental work. My tummy hurt so much I ate a bowl of mashed potatoes!! I decided I needed something to absorb the pills and carbs be damned. It worked!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
