I had a Nissen Fundoplication 4 years ago, whenever I get a stomach bug I am ill for 1 week, At the moment I have been poorly for 5 days. I had been on holiday to Lanzarote and was back for 36 hours when I started with intense nauseau, diarrhoea, fever , palpitations and initially a dull ache in my right side. For the first 24 hours I thought I may have had appendicitis although the ache in the right side eased off and did not become any worse, I felt too ill to get out of bed. Since then I feel weak, nauseaus, headache , no appetite , when I do eat I feel sick again, I have no energy, I am now tolerating fluids but still feel really ill and I need to get better to return to work, help!
Hi Karen, Thanks for writing in. I think what you suffered from was infectious diarrhea, and you are definitely on your way to getting better. As of now, you'd be better if you take plenty of fluids (particularly oral rely Chat Doctor. Eating small amounts at small intervals will help. Also, a course of antibiotics like ciprofloxacin would greatly help. Please speak with your physician about this. You don't need any other treatment as of now and I think you should be back on your feet with this in 1-2 days. Hope this helps.
