Is It Normal To Feel Exhausted After Diarrhea And Vomiting At The Age Of 70?
About 10 days ago I suffered food poisoning. I had severe diarrhea and vomited violently at least 6 times. Since then I have felt extremely exhausted. I also suffer from a somewhat rare chronic disease called HHT. This disease also saps my energy. Otherwise, I am feeling well - no nausea, and no diarrhea. I am 70 years of age. Should I be concerned or am I just taking longer to readjust because of my age and history?

hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum.IT is normal symptoms after vomiting and diarrhea,because there is great lose of nutrients,electrolytes,and fluid from the body because of that we feel tired or exhausted.so it happens with everyone but as you are 70 yrs old & you had history of chronic disease..so you might be feeling more tired ,nothing more than this to worry.continue the medication prescribed by your doctor with more fluids,juices,and nutritious diet.good luck.
