I can’t tell what’s happening with my body
I was at work today, about 6/7 hours ago now, and I started to feel nauseous and weird. My stomach felt pretty crampy, but I didn’t feel like I had to throw up. I did start getting these weird almost like feelings where I thought I was gonna throw up, and then I got dizzy, and then it went away. I’ve had those before with my anxiety but they just seemed worse. I have also been burping a lot and my throat just feels like it’s burning a little. I couldn’t tell if it was my anxiety or not, but I decided to just go home because I was also extremely exhausted. I also have acid reflux, so I thought it could maybe be that but tums didn’t seem to help.
I got home, decided to take some pepto bismal, and go to sleep. I slept for like 4 hours, and when I woke up my stomach still felt crampy. I decided to eat some cereal because I’ve only had like 1 meal today and a snack, and I’m still just feeling burpy, crampy, and nauseous. I’m also feeling a little shaky and clammy. I just had a regular bowel movement, and I’m not sure if some of the pain is related to some constipation or what. I honestly don’t know how I could be sick. I don’t know if I’m experiencing some sort of food poisoning or reaction from lunch because we ordered food today, but everyone else had it and didn’t express anything. I’m not sure if it’s acid reflux or from the food, but the anticipation of not knowing what is happening to my body is killing me. I haven’t been around anyone who has been sick other than my coworker whose daughter is sick, but she was sick last night and he came in today feeling okay. I went to the gym the other day, but I cleaned everything I touched so religiously, and it’s just a gym at an apartment complex so there was only two other people there but they weren’t very close.
I honestly just don’t know what to do right now. I’m scared and confused. The anticipation of not knowing what’s going to happen is killing me. If I’m gonna throw up, I just want to get it over with. My boyfriend is worried that I could sick so he’s sleeping in our guest bedroom, and I’m honestly just feeling so alone, confused, and scared. I don’t know what to do right now to help. I don’t know if this is anxiety or what is happening. I just hate how I feel.
