Are Dizziness And Vomiting Symptoms Of A Viral Infection?

Hi, for the second time this year , I experienced extreme dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, shakes. I was unable to stand or move my head, open my eyes , without exacerbating the dizziness. Both episodes lasted about 5 hrs. the first one was chalked up to a virus after seeing my family physician. Could this second time be the same virus or is it more serious? It was an acute onset, no warning, no increasing of symptoms. All in all a very frightening experience. Please help .

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM

The symptoms you are experiencing is likely viral infection/flu.
Take adequate rest. Use Tylenol for fever. Stay hydrated. Drink fluids containing electrolytes like Gatorade. Follow bland diet like banana, rice, toast until the acute symptoms subside. The symptoms will subside in about a week.
