Suggest Remedy For Weakness Post Treatment For Dehydration
My spouse had vomiting and diarrhea very early Sat 7/25 - at 9:45 am I gave him Pepto-Bismol. No more vomiting or diarrhea and he was resting. I kept checking on him and around 1 pm noticed his breathing to be shallow. Woke him and took BP 90/40. Took him in to ER. Blood pressure was not that low. Drew blood and determined he was dehydrated. Gave him fluids and a injection of zophan for nausea. Took stomach xrays also. Today he is still weak and I don t know if this is normal. He is eating ok. Took BP about 30 minutes ago and is was 119/60.

Weakness post vomiting and diahorea is most likely due to electrolyte imbalance. Also due to dehydration though the blood pressure appears to be normal. oral rehydration with fruit juices will help
