What Causes Nausea And Severe Fatigue?

I experienced severe nausea yesterday. It came out of the blue and I had to take my sweater off i was so warm. The nausea lasted about an hour. My husband gave me two dramamine. I finally went to sleep for several hours. When I awake no nausea when I awke. Just tired feeling. I have felt tired all day. My mother had a silent heart attack found in EKG and latter another heart attack requiring a stent. I am 64. Should I go to urgent care tomorrow for ekg? I know I sound like a hypochondriac, but I have never had nausea like I had yesterday that did not turn into diarrhea. Thank you for your time.

hi mam,i’m really impressed with your detailed way of presenting the symptoms.thanks a lot.dont call your self a hypochondriac.it is quite natural to have many speculations when some uncommon thing occurs all of a sudden.just check the following factors:
1)obesity,diabetes mellitus
2)hypercholesterolemia,family history of cardiovascular diseases
3)sedentary life style,stress
4)any chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
5)alcohol,smoking

if no above factors are present,you need not worry.as you mentioned,family history of heart disease,it can be considered as a risk factor.but except nausea,you hadn’t experienced any other symptoms of MI(myocardial infarction),you need not worry now.if another episode occurs or if any of the symptoms like breathlessness,chest pain,left arm pain,severe sweating occur,then you need to have an ECG done for evaluation of heart status.hope my answer relieves your anxiety.any further health issues,kindly let me know.to serve you is my pleasure.wish you and your family a very happy,healthy and prosperous new year 2018.thank you.take care.bye.
