Hand And Feet Feeling Cold And Shaky, Gas Problem. Food Poisoning?

Hi doc I was fine all day had soup for lunch and I was okay till the end of the afternoon. I was at work and realized I had some espresso coffee left from this morning so I drank it. After 15 minutes my hands where shaking little hungry an d my feet and hands got extremely cold for no reason. I do suffer from a lot of gas and my stomach was tensed up. When i get like this normal my blood pressure goes up as well. By the way today I went back in taking my vitamins which I haven t taken for couple of weeks.

Hello, Efarrugia,
If the coffee cup had been sitting open for several hours , it is
possible that there could have been bacterial contamination.
Eventhough you did not have any vomiting or diarrhea at this
point , you may still develop these symptoms.
But , I don't think it will be very serious. Drink plenty of water,
stay on clear liquid diet like clear jello, broth etc. till you feel
better.
For diarrhea , you might want to take a couple of pepto bismol
tablets three or four times a day if needed.
Hope you feel better soon.
