Brief Answer:
Flu symptoms, keep well hydrated

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical problems carefully and understood your concerns.

Feeling weak and cold are suggesting for viral infection. Stomach cramps you are having are also suggesting for stomach viral infection.

Feeling lightheaded is due to loss of appetite. I advise to :
- take more rest
- increase fluids intake especially water, tea, fresh fruit juice
- avoid foods that would aggravate stomach problems like fatty /chilly /spicy food
- probiotics can help stabilize intestinal flora
- take vit c supplement to regain ebenergy and appetite

Hope it was of help!
Wish fast recovery!
