Hello,
Any viral infection will cause fatigue. Most of the viral infections are self limiting. The symptoms improves within a week or so.
It the symptoms persists and associated with dizziness, nausea and headache it should be thoroughly evaluated.
Psychiatric cause can only be attribute when all the organic causes are ruled out.
This symptoms may be related to you backache and may be aggravated by the accident.
