i have been like this since i have had gastric flu just having cold sweats, feeling sick, dizzy, but i have had bad headaches before all this happens sometimes also i am not sleeping till 5AM and its killing me just was wondering what all you thought it could be

Answer:

well often after being sick it takes awhile to get back to normal. The dizzyness if probably due to dehydration- when your sick you often don't get enough fluid in your body because of appetite loss and your body absorbs more than normal when sick to fight off the sickness. This should wear off soon but if not I'd suggest seeing a doctor and telling your parents. For the sleep loss, you can easily take a Nyquil, or another medicine that makes one drowsy and probably would also help with your other symptoms. - good luck!

ps. take some Gatorade it will replenish what is lost when one sweats and is great for dehydration. headaches are probably due to the dehydration, and the cold sweats probably because your body is trying to regulate it's temperature after a fever.

I just got over the same thing!!!

You are dehydrated. You might not think you are, but trust me, the whole dizzy sick thing, that's dehydration.
