So, last night I admitted myself into Changi Hospital A&E. At around 5pm, I was having such a bad gassy situation that I felt dizzy, lightheaded, and the occasional feel of nausea. I dragged myself home, trying not to faint or puke in the train. \u00a0When I finally stepped into my room, I basically collapsed on the floor, trying to stop the gas from keep coming up. \u00a0After trying unsuccessfully for about 20 minutes, I vomited. \u00a0It was just air, but I heaved about 3-4 times.<\/p>\n
After the vomit incident, I started to shiver really badly. My mom was basically scared of her skin as she knew I was always gassy, but she never seen me in this state before. \u00a0Well honestly I’ve never reach this state either. \u00a0Everything seemed to be all right afterwards, just me being weak and no appetite. \u00a0I went to shower after resting, and I felt too damn cold, so I skipped washing my hair. \u00a0I didn’t want the fever to deteriorate (yes I was having slight fever by then – 37.7deg).<\/p>\n
After lying on the bed for awhile, drifting in and out of sleep, I noticed if I laid on my left side, the gas kept coming up so badly. \u00a0That’s odd because usually if I lie on my left side, the gas would come out as fart. \u00a0Then I tried to lie on my back and on my right side, of which I didn’t feel the gas coming up, but then my chest and throat got really really tight.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t really take it anymore, so I sat up a little and tried to lean on my left to try to sleep. \u00a0That’s when the second incident of vomitting started. \u00a0And this time, there’s liquid coming out. \u00a0I basically vomited all over myself and the bed. \u00a0I then ran to the kitchen, where I heaved at least 3-4 more times, with all the liquid coming out. \u00a0My mom ran out of her room and tried to get me comfortable, but I was again shivering non stop, even more so with all the wet vomit on my own clothes. \u00a0She quickly bring new clothes for me and helped me get changed, and then she decided to get me to the hospital, since it was already past midnight and there’s no 24hrs clinic nearby. \u00a0I agreed, as I really don’t think I would be able to sleep in this condition. \u00a0So I packed my charger, wallet, phone, keys, and two plastic bags (in case of another round of vomiting), in preparation of possibly being warded. \u00a0Then we went down to grab a cab down to Changi Hospital A&E.<\/p>\n
It was actually not that long a wait (I think TTSH or SGH would be worse). \u00a0I was there at around 1am, and I got to see the doc at around 3+am. \u00a0They took an ECG test as my heartbeat was a little too high. \u00a0Then the doc was pressing down on my abdomen, asking if there’s acute pain or anything like that, which I didn’t have – just general discomfort. \u00a0The doctor diagnosed it to be a viral infection somewhere inside that’s causing this, hence it explained the mild fever I got. \u00a0He said there’s no need to be warded, and gave me some intestinal medication, anti-nausea\/vomiting medication and antacid to help settle my intestines. We reached back home at around 4am, where my mom helped me changed my bedsheet and get my bed ready for my rest. \u00a0Thank goodness she’s there, I wouldn’t have known what to do if I’m all alone. \u00a0I wasn’t in any capacity to do anything either.<\/p>\n
My nausea and vomiting stopped after taking the medication, but I was still feeling to damn uncomfortable to do anything. \u00a0I would sweat, then shiver, then sweat again, and I can’t lie still on the bed. \u00a0I tossed and turned, and I just couldn’t rest properly. \u00a0I tried standing up, but I don’t have the strength and even standing up feels uncomfortable. \u00a0The vision is awfully hazy and I can’t sit properly either. \u00a0It was just hell for the whole today, until around 4pm. \u00a0Suddenly I fell asleep, and woke up in sweat. \u00a0Like, really sweating inside out. \u00a0And suddenly my vision cleared. \u00a0It was as if… the fog has lifted away.<\/p>\n
Suddenly I could get up from bed with no issues, I could walk to the kitchen and asked my mom for a small towel to wipe away all the sweat. \u00a0It was like… suddenly I recovered 80%.<\/p>\n
So now… my tummy is still growling a little, I could feel there’s quite a bit of activity there still, but generally the discomfort is unlike this morning\/afternoon. \u00a0Hopefully it’ll get better with medication, and tomorrow will be a better day…<\/p>\n
