MedHelp Member's Question

Should I be worried

by cm2784, Apr 20, 2008 01:20PM

I am 23 years old. I recently finished my period 7 days ago. About 3-4 days ago I became very ill with what I thought was a bad stomach bug. I vomited for a while, stayed nauseated, ran a high fever, and had extreme diarreah. I am starting to feel better today but when I woke up this morning I was cramping again and thought it was from dehydration from the past few days. When I went into the bathroom I was bleeding again. I am on the pill. What could be wrong with me?

Hello,
Sounds like you might have a viral illness. However, if you think you might be pregnant take a home pregnancy test. If negative, repeat it in one week. If you begin to feel worse over the next 24-36 hours, see a physician.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
