What Causes Diarrhea, Nausea And Severe Headaches?
I am feeling better now, but recently had diarrhea, nausea and a bad headache. My family members all had the same symptoms as I did. I noticed very tiny red dots on my belly and a few on my arms ( very tiny, like a pin point). I ve had these before, but usually not so many. I am feeling almost well, but what could this mean? I also notice that they are around where I have stretch marks, so I think my skin is more delicate there...

Hi,
Diarrhea, nausea, and headaches can be caused by a variety of conditions, including viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, and other gastrointestinal disorders. The appearance of tiny red dots on your skin is also significant and could be related to your symptoms. Here are a few possible explanations for your symptoms:
* Viral gastroenteritis: This is a viral infection that can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. It is highly contagious and can spread quickly in households or crowded environments.
* Migraine headache: Migraine headaches can cause severe pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some people also experience diarrhea during a migraine attack.
* Allergic reaction: An allergic reaction to a food or medication can cause a range of symptoms, including headache, nausea, and skin rash.
* Inflammatory bowel disease: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fatigue. The appearance of the tiny red dots on your skin could be related to inflammation in your digestive tract.
It is important to see a healthcare provider if your symptoms persist or worsen. They may recommend further testing or evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment. If you or anyone in your household is experiencing these symptoms, it is also important to practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of infection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
