Tiredness, Headache, Nausea After Cleaning With Bleach. Taken Advil. Treatment For Symptoms?
I was cleaning all day bathrooms and halls and office with bleach and other cleaners today. My back was hurting so bad and always hurts if I deep clean like mopping etc. so I took four Advil snd it started really hurting again so I took another four Advil couple hours later. But I cleaned from 11:00am to 4:00pm and I felt like I overdid it snd went got a sandwich to eat because I was so tired I thought if I ate I d feel better but I feel the same. Just head is slightly irritated and I feel hungry after almost who hours still bc I ate little but I feel nauseous and jut worn out!! And all I did was deep cleaning. Why do I feel this way?
** 1. could be MCS [multiple chemical sensitivity],resulting in nausea, fatigue, dizziness and headaches. 2. Advil [ibuprofen] reduces fever,pain and inflammation caused by headaches and because you took 8 tablets, thus could be ADR [adverse drug reaction] of the drug: dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness. [An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or intestines, call your doctor if you notice black, bloody, or tarry stools] 3. deep cleaning all day long can result in over exhaustion [fatigue syndrome] [dehydration] [lack of food] resulting in stress headaches.
PS . drinking non-caffeinated drinks/fluids and omega 3 fatty acids [anti inflammatory properties] may lead to good response. . you should contact your physician about medications that are safe to use, while physician can help determine which agent is best.
