fainting

[borres]

My husband had a fever and today he passed out several times for several seconds after he feels like vomitting
for now he hasn't eaten any solid food yet because he has an upset stomach.he dont have energy and he is very pale. Please i need help regarding this ASAP. I dont really know the exact cause of this, he does't want to go to doctor,any advise or simple medication would be a  great help.Thank You.

No headache? anything leading up to this possibly? Make sure he drinks liquids and even Jello, chicken soup. He must keep fluids in him. I cannot tell you what this could be. as it could be several things.

My advice sometimes... TOUGH love needs to be taken. Call an ambulance if he refuses to see a doctor. No if and, buts about it. ok?

To me this could very well be the flu.... keep an eye on his temperature. and use cold compresses.
You can even call your local "emerycare center" There is a nurse that may give you advice, or even the ER nurse at your local hospital. She will advise you best she can.

Good luck!

There's no way any of us can give you any advice on this, although I know you'd like help and I'm sure a lot of us would like to help you. Fainting can result from simple or more complex problems, and only a  doc is going to be able to tell you what's going on. He really, really, really needs to be seen by a doc - his own doc or one he sees by going to an ER.

I know you can't hog-tie him and drag him to the ER, but please see what you can do about his letting you call your own doc (who will probably tell you to go to the ER unless he's seen him recently). It could be a virus, but please don't take any chances.

I know my husband hates docs, but if he did something like that to me I know I'd promise him I'd 'kill' him after he got better, or nag him so much he'd run to the ER just to get away from me......................
