Question by girlsneutral: Please help me! Should I go to the hospital?
I haven’t been feeling very well the passed weekend but yesterday and today have been the worst..

Saturday night I was feeling ill but I ended up having too much to drink with some friends. When I woke up sunday I felt typically hung over, only I felt weird aswell, almost dizzy and light headed.
When I got home I got waves of the dizzyness/nausea/lightheadedness and eventually chose to nap to make it go away. I woke up after 6 hours with the same feeling. Before bed I had a piece of pizza… I started really worrying about how I felt and it got worse!
Sleeping felt VERY odd and was difficult falling asleep with my symptoms and staying asleep,
like I kept waking up startled with shaky eyesight that lasts a second. I feel very dizzy and Ill when I try to sleep
