I'm 17 years old and i work 9-5 7 days a week, sleep from 6p-10p stay up till 1a and then sleep from130a-730a. I constantly feel nauseous, around 12p I get a massive headache on my left temple my vision gets blurry and I get really tired. I also have abdominal pain like crazy. this has been going on for about 2 weeks going on 3. My parents refuse to take me to the hospital or even set up a doctor appointment. I don't know what to do. I'm getting worse everyday. I don't think my parents will understand me when I say I don't feel good until I'm dead. Help, please! :(
Wait, you work this much and now that you feel sick you can't get a doctor's appointment to see what is wrong? What about you calling a doctor's office and asking about what options you have in situations like this?
What kind of work do you do? do you eat regularly - especially breakfast? I know from my own experience that headaches combined with blurriness and tiredness can mean that you need to wear glasses or contacts, so that is one thing you should also check out. And, abdominal pain, where exactly is it located - upper, lower?

It's just a summer job. I work at the aquarium and I'm on my feet and in the heat for 8 hours a day. I get free food and free drinks so I eat when I'm hungry. But when I eat I get super nauseous and thats when my headache starts as well. and the pain is kinda in the middle but more upper abdominal. I also have to lift heavy objects at work.

If you work in heat for so long, sodas or soft drinks alone are not enough - maybe you're dehydrated, you need to drink much more water because you are loosing more water. Dehydration usually first shows up as a headache. But, you need to talk to your folks again and see if you could see a doctor, I'm worried about that abdominal pain. You need at least a basic examination.
