What Causes Lethargy And Heaviness In The Stomach Area?

Since this past Sat. (at which time I threw up 4 times all yellow liquid (bile)?? Next day felt better and still so so , but have a heaviness in my stomach area and still have soft bowels that are on the soft side, and when I clean myself show yellow and not the usual brown of a BM. I also feel lethargic----almost like a food poison issue, but it s been several days now and I m wondering if it could be something more serious?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of acute GASTROENTERITIS (AGE) is more.
It is gastrointestinal infection.
All your symptoms like vomiting, altered bowel movements, abdominal pain, lethargy etc are common symptoms of AGE.
So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Take oral rehydration solution (ORS).
Also tak zinc and probiotic tablets.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Take pantoprazole and domeperidone tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
Do all these for 2-3 days and if you are not improving then consult doctor and get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out internal pathology.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
