Fainting and Vomiting

Deleted Account · September 1, 2017

Yesterday I had my first peanut powder smoothie with some yogurt and a banana.

This morning I have had the worse stomach ache of my life, and it's accompanied by fainting spells and vomiting.

The pain is so great that I come extremely close to completely passing out and falling onto the floor.

Sorry about this next sentence: I have diarrhea, but I about kill over while I am sitting on the toilet. And, I'm throwing up while I'm sitting there, all at the same time!

Has anyone experienced this from using the peanut powder, or have any idea what's going on with the fainting? I do not feel like it's the flu in any way.

i hesitate in calling my doc because I don't want to cause any waves in my getting the surgery.

Thank you so much for your replies.

Sounds like maybe an allergic reaction of some sort, but this whole experience is about your health. I really believe that needs to come first and you should call your pcp at the very least.

If it were me, I'd go to a nearby urgent care. I understand not wanting to mess up your surgery, etc. but you need to be healthy! Stay hydrated no matter what. Even if the Water just comes back up. Dehydration will get you a hospital stay quicker than you think.

I'm no medical professional. Full stop. But if it were me having those symptoms, I'd guess it was some type of food poisoning or allergic reaction.

Hang in there.

Have you called the Dr? I would.

No, but I did call a relative who is in the medical field. What I experienced happens to many people. I was told to lie on my back with my feet high above my head, and that helped tremendously with the fainting. All of this has to do with some very large nerve. It did all come back when I would go to the restroom.

I am better now, but I promise you all that I will talk to my surgeon about it. If it's not completely gone by tomorrow, I will go to the ER.

I cannot tell you how much your replies mean to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
