[QUOTE="Todd, post: 2478027, member: 250306"] The hair falling out sounds bad and unususal. But, the rest of the symptoms indicate a gastric problem, possibly an ulcer. Some of the symptoms imitate extreme dehydration. Other abdominal problems would include peritonitis, which is caused by a variety of things. Nobody likes to go to the doctor, but if you are to the point of pain where you can't really concentrate on anything else, I think you should. Peritonitis can cause death. Check your body temperature to see if you have started a fever. If you have, you need to visit the emergency care immediately. Throwing up is a strong sign that something, be it feces or digestive enzymes, has invaded the abdominal cavity if coupled with a fever and pain in the abdomen. If you want to risk it (which I do _not_ recommend) and are normally in good health, you can nurse yourself with water and multivitamins for a couple days. Doctors that treat this usually do an NPO order, which means nothing by mouth, but if you stay at home, you will have to ingest some water unless you know how to do your own IV, lol. In any case, it's best not to freak out, because anxiety will cause a raise in blood pressure. Check your vitals (resting heart rate, temperature, blood pressure (intensity of pulse), etc.) [/QUOTE]
