What Causes Chills, Lightheadedness, Dizziness, Stomach Ache And Diarrhea?

Hi, Yesterday I started getting chills, which became severe. I then became very lightheaded and for one moment the room was spinning. I was at a ballgame and the medics checked my temp and BP both of which were noral. Later my belly started hurting. I ended up sleeping much of the day and night. Today I feel slightly better but am a bit lightheaded and I started mild diarrehea and have a stomachache. Does this sound like food poisoning? Thanks.

You have light headache associated with diarrhea....
It seems to be stomach flu or bacterial gastroenteritis...

Take ciprofloxacin antibiotic for 5 days...
More water drinking....
Green leafy vegetables taken more....
Excess tea, spicy food , meat ,, smoking , alcohol like irritants avoided....
Fruits taken more...
Cooked oat good for taking as sooth stomach....
Frequent sip of hot water good for upset tummy....
Peaches , kiwi are good fruits that can be taken...

If no improvement stool examination done for parasites...
If egg of ameba seen then metronidazole given....
If hookworm , round worm etc seen then albendazole needed.
