What Are The Symptoms Of Viral Meningitis?

Hi, My 23 yo daughter (teacher), has a friend who was diagnosed 2 days ago with Viral Meningitis. Daughter now nauseous, headache, dizzy, clammy skin, bp 105/52, pulse 62, eyes equal and reactive (no light sensitivity), can touch chin to chest. Should I take her to get checked out or wait until morning to see how she s doing? Don t want to risk getting a spinal tap if not necessary. Can a blood test tell anything?
