Suggest Treatment For Recurring Diarrhea, Hyperacidity, Fatigue And Low Appetite

I don t know what illness I m experiencing. It started when I got cold due to lack of warm clothes when I was running errands back and forth to the stores last week. Then, I was also sleeping late and lacking sleep due to waking up to feed the baby. Then, Wednesday last week, I started feeling cold. I thought it was from lacking sleep so I drank 3 cups of coffee that day. Also, I was cleaning the garage which I found cold. That day was cold in Chicago. Thursday, I lost my appetite. I was feeling sleepy and tired. So, I drank 2 cups of coffee. I was still running errands at night for my baby s 1st birthday party yesterday. Friday, I felt the acidity in my diaphragm. Then I lost appetite that night. I felt my back and feet cold. I was having like flu-like symptoms without the fever and colds. Then, when I ate, I would vomit what I ate. I was having diarrhea, too. I would drink Dayquil. After the medicine wears off, I will have the same symptoms again. For my diarrhea and hyperacidity, I would take Zantac and Pepto-Bismol. My muscles are weak that I get tired easily. I don t know if it s because I haven t eaten right. In 5 days, I lost 7 lbs already for not eating. I will only eat crackers.

Hi,

Your diet needs to be healthy, stop that much caffeine eat few days fruits and vegetables and salads, take antioxidant like amla, aloe vera, basil etc. Few symptomatic meds can be taken like antacid (protonix before meal for 7 days) and Tylenol for pain and ORS solution after every stool or vomiting at least 140 ml and as needed (coconut water in between is good too) if symptoms persist for more than 3 days then stool examination and CBC tests are needs and you can visit local physician for physical examination too.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
