What Causes Nausea, Loss Of Appetite And Dizziness?
Question: I have been feeling nausea and lightheaded for several days. Loss of appetite the first couple of days. Now can eat a few things, but the thought of anything with cream in it makes me more nauseous. Feeling week. Nausea and lightheadedness keep me from exercising. Walking around the block only. Drinking tons of liquids. This morning my sinuses feel sort of full. Any idea what's going one? I really need to get my strength back and exercise because have a big trip coming up. Thanks.
A week ago I had the first of Hep A inoculation. All of my blood tests were good at that doctor's appointment.
