Feeling Lightheaded, Gastric Problems. Flu Symptoms Or Due To Anxiety?
Hi I m 26 years old I m currently experiencing light headed wooziness when I stand up and am having to lye down, I also am expelling alot of gas and have signs of flu I have recently experienced anxiety and am on a phased return to work. What would you recommend or suggest for how I m currently feeling? Thank you
It seems like you are in a lot of stress and anxiety. Adding to it are the symptoms you are facing. Do not worry; you will be fine soon.
The lightheaded feeling is due to inadequate fluid intake. Please consume more water, at least 3 liters in a day. Be slow while you stand up and lie down. You can take simple antacids like TUMS for the gas problem.
Yes, I do get the point that you are having flu like symptoms now.
The treatment is symptomatic with adequate bed rest; plenty of fluids orally, drink warm water, keep yourself warm, and wash your hands frequently. Most importantly, get yourself out of the anxiety and get back to work in a good health.
I wish you quick recovery.
Take care.
