Suggest treatment for severe stomach pain with dizziness
Patient: Hello, my name is Jocelyn and i am 17 years-old. I'm looking for a doctors advice because my mom won't listen to me no matter what i tell her. I haven't slept at all tonight because i've had this god awful stomach pains to the fact that i feel like crying. It started out with my lower back hurting for about 3 days and it still does hurt but not as bad and now i feel like i have to constantly poop and vomit. I also have really bad dizziness and I feel really weak. I recently went to the bathroom, and it still didn't help anything, and when i looked it after i wiped it looked like coffee grounds in diarrhea. Not to be gross but i'm actually starting to get a little nervous. Can you please help? Doctor: Hi. Thanks for an elucidate history. Yes, you have a problem- this is gastroenteritis. The dizziness is suggestive of an active infection with loss of electrolytes into the intestine ( the reverse process due to infection). You need to consult a Doctor for clinical examination , blood pressure and pulse rate. You may need IV antibiotics and supportive medicines as there is vomiting also.. Request your Mother to take you to ER
