What Causes Nausea, Dehydration And Dizziness After Hitting The Stomach?
hi, yesterday i was hit extremely hard in the stomach to the point i could feel everything inside shake and ache. I fell down the stairs on concrete floor today and right after i got up i had severe nauseous, dehydration, and dizziness. i have no broken bones just a bruised back and jamed fingers, im curious to know if this could be something severe or just something that will go away over time?
Hi. The blunt trauma over the abdomen can have many consequences. You have already developed a few symptoms suggestive of some internal problems. This can be a contusion to any internal organ, perforation of the bowel and so on. The best way to get a proper diagnosis is to have a clinical / physical examination by a Surgeon to see the abdomen and vitals like temperature, pulse , BP etc. You have to go for the tests of the blood, urine and stool as well as ultrasonography and X-ray of the abdomen in a standing position. CT scan to confirm any positive findings. I would advise such a patient to get admitted to the hospital for observation and management.
