fitfalang Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi, I have caught something weird last night and I am wondering what could be wrong. I ate at a legit hotel's buffet and went to bed early, but woke up at night as I was feeling nauseous. Today I have been not able to eat anything at all and I am so tired even posting this is a real struggle. Mostly been laying in bed. However, this doesn't seem like any illness or food poisoning that I have experienced before, which is why I am a little worried. So to sum up the symptoms: Mildly nauseous feeling Complete loss of appetite Extreme lethargy NO diarrhoea NO strong stomach pain NO flu-like symptoms Anyone recognise these symptoms? Should I see a doctor or just stay in bed for a few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 lasting more than 12 hours? If no fever...no infection. Did you drink alcohol? best you get some testing done at a clinic. My symptoms after a good night of drinking. No appetite and lethargic. Slight nausea. same. If you are not a drinker...and no fever...you caught the beginning of a virus/flu.

Yeah nearly 20 hours now. Didn't have any alcohol either, just water with the food. Not sure about fever since I don't have a thermometer but despite getting heavy colds every once in a while, I haven't had fever since I was 9 years old.

aussiandrew Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Just have a couple of Paracetamol and a lay down you will be fine in short time and then you can probley go out and do it all over again. Welcome to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 A lot of guys here feel those symptoms when they see who they have woken up next to. After they put their hands in their pockets they often say " I don't feel two grand" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Infections, both viral and bacterial, do not always announce their arrival by an immediate fever. If by tiredness you mean exhaustion/lethargy, probably the onset of infection. Even with mild fever UK NHS advice does not recommend that you need to see a doctor immediately unless you reach certain levels. Why not run through one of the national self - diagnosis online tools to put your mind at rest. Of course you will be paying so up to you if you want to go get a doctor's reassurance. [i'm no doctor but I have a chronic chest condition which is quite liveable with but exposes me to (mostly bacterial ) infections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 ...cont'd ... several times a year. They can arrive in all different forms not necessarily including fevers, exhaustion/lethargy being quite a regular portent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnybay Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Sounds like Walking Corpse Syndrome, or maybe Myotonia Congenita your in trouble if its Phronemophobia but you could try a doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Assume food poisoning at least a virus, get your ass to a Doctor your a silly man if you wait any longer. I picked up food poising in Penang second last day there, just nausea and fatigue as well as off food, fever set in 24 hours later on the flight back to BKK, unwell that night and to bed early, next day was sort of ok the following day still same same again but could function fine TGF takes me to hospital....Food Poisoning. The second time i got food poisoning this time in BKK and only second time in my life was about 2 months later, was much milder no fever after a week went to that hospital yep food poisoning again.

h90 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 If everyone in Bangkok goes to the hospital with food poisoning than they would need to build 1000 more hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBN Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 May be a mild case of staphylococcal food poisoning. In case of infection by either viral or bacterial, time of onset is usually much longer and almost invariably associated with diarrhoea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitfalang Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks for all the tips, guys. After purchasing a thermometer like you suggested, it was fever indeed. Weird feeling, since I haven't had it for over 15 years and without flu symptoms or diarrhoea. Anyways, some paracetamols and a good night's sleep later, feeling much better already. Must have been something dodgy in the seafood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 paracetamol reduce fever so if you don't have it after eating, it doesn't mean you are OK. I would relax the next 1-2 days to ensure whatever you had doesn't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickylies Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) u can get these symptoms up to 48 H after eating something bad. don't jump to conclusion that it has something to do with your supper. it can also just be a viral infection which will go away soon. or moderate dehydration. my 2 cents: drink plenty of water, eventually with some hydration salts (available in any pharmacy) and get some rest. don't worry. cheers!

gomangosteen Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Reggie Perrin's Doc Morrissey has the cure Doc:I say, your ticker's racing like the clappers. Not surprising, really. (Doc sits down). Do you find you can't finish the crossword like you used to, nasty taste in the mouth in the mornings, can't stop thinking about sex, can't start doing anything about sex, wake up with a sweat in the mornings, keep falling asleep during 'Play For Today'? Reggie:That's extraordinary, Doc! That's exactly how I've been feeling. Doc:So have I. I wonder what it is? Take two aspirins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
