Having issues eating

[vercetti2021]

A day after I got a noggin whacking. I feel just nauseated but I'm hungry. But at the same time I don't wanna eat because I feel sick to my stomach too. What should I do? Drink some fruit and veggies? Also having crying fits all day. My anxiety is out of control now since I'm constantly worrying about brain bleeding.

22. Brain rest

30. My daughter had a bad concussion

You should stay away from any computer screens. No TV or reading either.

13. At least call the doctor. Docs can miss things in the ER. If you call the doctor, he can

tell you whether to go back there, or what else to do. Even at night, your doc will have an answering service, and you should get a call back.

And, yes, saltines help pregnant women with nausea. I am old now, but I have a fragile tummy, so I often have to resort to saltines.

I made a post yesterday about heading to the ER. I received a mild concussion

10. Years ago, I gave myself a good whacking and saw stars

Doctor recommended a CT scan to make sure there was no bleeding. When that was negative, my anxiety went way down. I was put on “brain rest” until my dizziness and other symptoms left.

Have you talked to your doctor? I think you need to be evaluated if you haven’t yet.

16. I haven't got ahold of my doctor yet

Weekend. She isn't in until Monday. I sent an email to her. The ER doctor but me in brain rest

12. I'll weigh in with a tip...

You can go a long time without eating but not drinking. Keep up with taking fluids. You’ll get your appetite back soon. 💖💖💖💕💕💕

18. Agree!

Stay hydrated and drink some fluids with some nutrient content like juices. Avoid dairy products until after your appetite comes back.

14. Cinnamon toast?

[vercetti2021]

17. Can that help?

Like French toast?

[SheltieLover]

20. Maybe

What will help is time & hydration, but if you're hungry, toast some bread, butter lightly & put some cinnamon sugar on it.

[vercetti2021]

23. I'll try that if an appetite returns

Just drinking lot of lemonade and water

[SheltieLover]

27. Just rest & hydrate

Eat when you get hungry.

[enough]

15. Just eat whatever appeals to you. If nothing appeals, wait till something does. NT

21. Everything is nasty to me

Been extremely thirsty

[SheltieLover]

28. Then do not eat

19. Sorry your feeling bad

Fluids and rest would be great things. Your body will let you know when it needs food. Focus on treating yourself.

[vercetti2021]

25. I've been a fish today

Water and lemonade

29. Take care.

31. My first go to if I feel nausea

Is to eat an orange. It clears it up quick usually.

But then again I'm weird.

[Warpy]

32. Things like saltines usually work

Drinking is important, part of your nausea might be due to dehydration.

And if it isn't, throwing something up is not nearly as bad as dry heaves.

But definitely, try some plain saltines. And drink some water.
