A member asked:

Started feeling very light headed and nausea started to vomit and both hands went into spasms lasted about 15 mins?

Potassium deficiency: Due to loss of fluids by vomiting and diarrhea you are also losing potassium, which may be causing muscle spasm.If persists you need intravenous fluids with pottassium.
