I have had spells of dizziness, but never has it lasted quite that long. I understand that it's important to get to your GI appt, but could you maybe get a ride, or take a taxi? I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for replying, yes my husband can take me it's just I'm so scared about all this. Like I'm having a panic attack Its too much, stomach pain, nausea, dizziness worrying about my my family. Can't tell if I'm overacting or if something serious is going on.

Thanks for being there

the fainting may not be directly related to the gastritis but with all the added stress etc this could happen. I had a few days a while ago where I got dizzy everytime I got up from laying on the couch. Thankfully it past. Let us know how it goes and good luck with your next appt.

Nausea, fainting and dizziness are all related to the GI inflammation, per my IDD and GI doctor. Or at least can be. It is due to stress primarily, which pulls all the blood suddenly from our central core.

For dizziness, ask your GP if it is okay to prescribe you a anti-nausea medication (I had one and continue to take it for my other GI disorder as needed) or if there is something OTC you can use. Also try to slow your movements, especially when turning or changing height positions. Another thing that worked well for me on occasion was to keep soda crackers next to the bed and to nibble one or two before getting up after sleeping.

Hope it helps and best wishes!

Hi, I have dizziness also, and have a low grade fever which ive had for over a month now. I do have issues with my pancreas also so think mine could be related to that but no-one seems to know. Do you have a fever?

Hi annabb, I am on the dizzyness forum and also panic attacks forum for my sins - had these two little beauties for years and years. The gastritis popped up its pretty little head end of last year. You sound like you are getting worked up about the old tummy to me and that will defo pull the blood from the core and make you sickly,
It could also be nothing to do with it and maybe be an inner ear infection, also could be sinus infection which will make you nauseaous and sickly. Any pains above eyes or tops of cheeks ? I do know ear infections can be a bugger to get rid of - they meds do work for this.

Try grating ginger into hot water and drink as a tea for the sicklies -
charcoal is another idea if you don't want to take meds.


Oooh don't we all have fun - not !! x x

She posted a few days back. Got a final diagnosis and knows what is going on. Just was in the last week. Seems like she is on the right track now and happy about finally having an answer, though the condition is non-curable I believe. But her spirits seem up over-all. Check out the posts started in last week & commented on.

Thanx Raven

Hi darbs,

No, I didn't have a fever but when I went to the doctor my white count was 13,000. Normal I think is under 10,000. So I did have an infection. The weird thing is sometimes I'll run a low-grade fever and not be all that sick but it sure can make you feel bad.

Hope you are feeling better soon.
