Got Blood Drawn Also Got My Second Shot For STD Prevention And I Keep Sweating Too. Treatment?

Hi, I am a young teen and this morning I got blood drawn. They took about three or four vials - which were about eight inches in length from what I could see. It was an annual physical so I was a bit surprised at how much they took. For reference this was early in the morning (around 9:20am) and I had not yet eaten or eaten in about twelve hours as my doctor recommended. I had been pushing fluids, though.
Anyways, I went to school after it was all said and done (side note, I got my second shot for STD prevention, so I don't know the symptoms) and I realized I was having trouble thinking/focusing. I was wide awake and I thought i was okay, but now that I'm home I don't remember half of the day.
I started to eat, having an apple, some crackers, proteins, etc. and I started getting congested and after eating my stomach became upset. I rested for about an hour, waking up sweating. Again I had more fluids, caffeinated because I thought I might be getting a tension headache, but it only made my stomach worse. I tried water, getting in more protein and again it made things worse.
I am having trouble concentrating right now, as well. I keep sweating and I might check and see if I am running a fever but I would like to know if you could give me an idea of what is going on.
Thank you.

Hello,

The symptoms may be due to gastritis.
Gastritis may have been caused by long hours of fasting and stress.

Drink a lot of milk to neutralize the gastric acid.
consult with your doctor for more help.
