"i have been given dilaudid through an iv on several occasions and on all those occasions i&#039;d rather just dealt with the pain. today the hospital gave me dilaudid, and some nausea medication... on ever occasion that i have been given dilaudid through iv instantly my head gets too heavy, i begin to get dizzy and lighthead. i always get very nauseous and confused, so i usually sleep it off  because i hate the feeling it gives me. this time was different i fell asleep about 40 minutes after getting the medication and every couple minutes i kept waking up. all of a sudden i became very hot and clamy while feeling very cold.
