Nausea
Nausea often is common signs that develope with meningitis in the early stages. As the disease progresses, these signs are also followed by severe stomach upset and vomiting – that will further cause an affected person to lose appetite. Extreme weight loss can occur from loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting depending on the severity of the disease, leading to other health complications. Your body will not be able to get the required nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and others) due to loss of appetite and rapid weight loss. With increasing severity, your immune and endocrine system will also suffer.
People with weakened immune systems before getting meningitis are more sensitive to developing the infection, and the symptoms and complications can be much serious. It is due to the fact that their immune system is weak enough to not fight and heal with invading pathogens. Overall, as unpleasant these signs are, the potential health consequences can be more dangerous. Trying to eat even when you don’t feel hungry and receiving the essential treatment is vital to help you subside nausea and vomiting.
