A member asked:

I woke up suddenly last night extremely nauseous, sweaty, dizzy, confused, and weak. didn't vomit but did have diarhea. what might have caused this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You may have: a "stomach bug" or gastroenteritis, possibly caused by a virus or bacteria. Drink lots of liquids to offset the volume you lost through loose stools. If you continue to have these symptoms throughout today and tomorrow, visit a healthcare provider then for proper diagnosis and treatment. Thanks for trusting HealthTap.
