I feel drunk...

[erin-x]

I just woke up at half seven to go to work but I feel horrible! As soon as I stood up I felt really dizzy and sick and when I made it downstairs I was all cold but the sweat was dripping off me! I'm lying on the couch now feeling like I'm ready to puke. The dizziness is really bad. What cam it be? :|

My husband had that once and he had labyrinthitis. Sqad is your man to diagnose (with limited symptoms to go on!) I'm sure he will suggest a cause.

[erin-x]

Thanks Yogasun. Wouldn't I have ear pain if it was something like that though?

[Sqad]

I agree with yoga son, it is certainly an inner ear problem and labyrinthitis or an attack of Meniere's Disease comes to mind.

Pain in the ear would EXCLUDE a diagnosis of inner ear disease.

Rest, try and take normal amounts of fluid and monitor the situation for the next 8 hours or so.

Thanks Sqad :-) I've phoned my work so will just go back to bed and try and fight the nausea =s x

Don't know what it is, but I get it occasionally. Never lasts more than a day (if its the same you should start feeling better this afternoon), don't know what causes it, and it is so rare (say once every 5 years) that I've never worried about it. Staying flat and not moving your head around is the way to cope.
Hope it passes soon.

I had labyrinthitis a few years ago and it took me almost four weeks to recover completely. I really feel for you as it was absolutely horrible.

Hope you feel better soon sweetie xxx

[erin-x]

Thanks you lot :-) I went back to sleep at 9ish and this is me just waking up now!! The dizziness has gone but I haven't eaten anything today :| I better phone my work qnd tell them I'm okay for tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed xxx

[Sqad]

Mr tinks has a massive case of manflu!! He actually was quite unwell i think there might be a flu kickinh around or throat thing....i dont actually feel 100% myself since leaving him ......hes dead if i get not well LOL xxx

[excelsior-1]

just found this thread erin. how have you been today, are you feeling better?

[tonyav]

Don't worry tinks you won't get it anywhere near as bad as him, trust me there is nothing worse than '' man flu '' lol.

[erin-x]

I tend to drink a lot of water so I think i'm hydrated enough. There seems to be a virus going about at the nursery I work at so I thought it was maybe that but I seem to be feeling better now. I had some toast about 4ish after I woke up and i've phoned to say that I'm going in tomorrow. I might try some soup in a bit :-)

Thanks for replying folks xxx
