Brief Answer:
Common flu or fatigue.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Two conditions should be evaluated as possible causes of your symptoms:
- common flu, you need to measure your body temperature every two hours.
- lowering of blood pressure, or blood sugar levels, if you experienced fatigue, insomnia, stress, or used substances (alchohol eg.) last days.
In both cases rest for a couple of days, Paracetamol use and good fluids intake should help improve your symptoms.
If symptoms persist after a couple of days, you should consider consulting your primary care Doctor and have a medical condition evaluation.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Take care.
