i got my belly button pierced yesterday and when i first tried to clean it, i felt really dizzy, collapsed and threw up.
any ideas on why this was/should i be worried? im not squeamish at all and the pain of cleaning it wasnt really that bad and it doesnt look infected or anythin.
iv felt kinda dizzy n sick ever since.

I didn't have anything like that when i had mine pierced. Though if i stick my finger in the hole it always makes me feel sick. Strange that.
had a really bad night last night with huge migraine and feeling really sick, could this be due to the piercing as well? iv only ever had a headache like that once before. i felt ok during th day and i feel ok now, so dont think its a bug or anything.
same when i had my tongue done.
the piercer said it's like a mild form of shock - you have just had a trauma to a part of your body, albeit mild and self inflicted. sounds pretty plausible.
she said the best thing to do was have a lie/sit down and a breath of fresh air.
can't hurt.
what are symptoms of blood poisoning? can you get that through piercing?
ok scary! yeh i remember readin on th tattoo info at th piercing place that septicaemia(blood poisoning) is poss. but surely it would take longer to come about.
i had lymphangitis (stage before blood poisoning) and it didnt feel lik this, it was jus shown by a single hot red mark on my arm. dunno bout th symptoms of actual fullblown blood poisoning tho.
that shock thing def sounds plausible, i was def in shock jus after it was done, kinda out-of-it feeling. but im stil gonna be a bit worried bout blood poisoning now!
it couldnt be lik hepatitis or anythin? :nervous:
cuz mayb that made u feel dizzy?
i was fine wen i had mine done just hurt loads afta..
i feel like i need a piss wen i put ma finger in ma belly button : :chin:
im sure it was shock, like kaffrin said..especially as you feel ok now.
