What Causes Chills And Muscle Aches Along With Fatigue And Rise In BP?

I caught something from a person just back from Guatemala. There are no respiratory effects at all, but it causes chills, muscle aches and spasms, and severe fatigue. It also causes a rise in blood pressure, and light headed spells. Can this be identified?
