I went to A+E on Friday night for severe vomiting and an episode of vomiting with blood. Before I see the doctor the blood cleared but I continued to vomiting. By the way I'm a non-drinker. I had bloods taken and was told it was normal. I was happy with the explanation but I was still profusely vomiting, witnessed by the doctor who's seen me. I asked for anti-sickness medication to take home. The doctor initially suggested a few options of those but then he went to discuss with another doctor who just looked dismissively at me. They decided to not give me anything and advised for me to see GP for it. It's the weekend and I haven't registered to GP locally so that would be impossible. I continued to vomit and worsen as I was unable to take any foods or fluids until I get to see a GP on Monday who gave me antisickness medication. The meds helped a lot. I don't understand why is it so difficult to give a medication to control a clearly shown symptom which would help me sooner if I could get it that night. Could've saved me from suffering the lethargy and dehydration over the weekend and get to convalescense sooner.
