Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of being perfectly fine yesterday, did work on floor for 4 hours, went out and fell drowsy as if passing out, then vomited. Today the feeling of vomiting is still there feeling like stomach flu.
Since you had nausea, vomiting and weakness it can be stomach flu but it can be gastritis as well.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get clinical evaluation and examination by a Doctor to see for the vitals of temperature,. pulse and blood pressure, to see the throat for redness of flu.
Get a PPI like Omeprazole, Domperidone and antacid liquid.
Take rest and see if there is improvement or not. If no improvement you Doctor will certainly go for further investigations and management.
Get hydrated well and watch for any further symptoms development like fever, loose stool, pain in abdomen and son and get symptomatic and supportive treatment accordingly as required.
