Should I go to the ER?

Question

I haven’t been able to eat in 2 days. I’m keeping some fluids down but not many. I am extremely shaky and nauseous. I tested my ketones and got a small amount.

Answer

I’m not sure what ketones are, but the fact that you are feeling that bad, and unable to keep stuff down, I would at least head to urgent care

Answer

please please go! especially if you are pregnant! you could definitely be in DKA. which could not only jeopardize your life but your child's. please go.

Answer

I’d call your OB and ask them where they want you to go. I hope you feel better.

Answer

Definitely call your doctor, pedialite will help with electrolytes in the mean time if you have to wait for them to call you back

Answer

Call your doc I hope you feel better soon

Answer

Aren’t ketones just by products of the body breaking down fat for energy that occurs when carbohydrate intake is low. If your not eating or can’t eat bc your to sick the higher level of the ketones is just using your store fat for energy. If your pregnant you may just have a bad case of morning sickness as long as your taking prenatals you should be ok. If not and your that sick go see a doctor but a moderate level of ketones isn’t anything to worry about unless your physically starving yourself and you developed anorexia. Hope you feel better hun
