Yesterday, I went out with my husband to dinner, everything was delicious, but the air conditioning hit me all over the face, I didn't pay much attention to it and we finished dinner. When I got home, I felt my stomach growl, I had nausea and a little dizziness, my nose was stuffy and I started to sneeze. my husband was very scared, days before he had been bad with a toothache, and he had to run to take me to the dentist, who told me that he had to remove the bad tooth. And now this!! apparently dinner made me feel bad, and I couldn't resist the urge to vomit, but I rested my stomach. I went to bed very very tired, I felt short of breath. My husband made me some tea, I drank it and went to sleep.
