Feeling Light Headed & Nauseous
hey I just got back from a big holiday in Europe, but near the end of it my stomach started growling all through the day, my body aches, lightheaded sometimes and I always feel nauseous when I lay down on either of my sides, any idea what it could be?

Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection. Other metabolic causes (chronic anemia, electrolyte imbalance), etc. can not be excluded either.
That is why, I would recommend consulting with your GP for a physical exam and some lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation).
Meanwhile, I recommend having some rest, taking plenty of fluids to stay well hydrated and take omeprazole or esomeprazole for the stomach. Ibuprofen can be helpful against muscle pain.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
