    Default Vicious cycle!!!

    All week i've been suffering from a stomach ache, although I havent been ill with it (touch wood) but its made me panicky! I realised today that i've only had 3 glasses of water over the whole past week, 1 glass in the last 3 days, which proababy is why im feeling so rubbish right now. I feel reallllyyyyyy N and thats making me really anxious, so im trying to drink but because i feel so N when i sip water or anything it only makes me feel worse so im going around in circles!

    I almost passed out 3 times today and feel dizzy even just sat down. but I cant drink! Helppp! I got hungry earlier so i ate a meal with my family, and i guess if i was gonna V, then would have been the time, and ive been fine. its just the feeling and its worse when i drink than when ive eaten!!!!!

    I dont really know where this post is headed.. im just panicking and really really scared!

    Have you drank anything else apart from the 3 glasses of water?

    You NEED to drink, AND eat. Going 3 days without ANY fluid other than a glass of water is not healthy at all. 3 days without liquid, you're going to be dehydrated. Your body is telling you, you need food. You're feeling dizzy because your blood sugar is no doubt very low, and you might be dehydrated.

    Unfortunately, you're going to keep feeling sick until you replenish the vitamins/nutrients your body needs. Can you try getting an electrolyte drink like Gatorade or something if you don't feel like drinking water? I feel like the n* you are experiencing when you drink water is because of anxiety of anticipating you're going to feel sick. Try eating some dry toast and then drinking a glass of water, that way the water isn't on an empty tummy!
