Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Fever, Syncope, Headache, Loss Of Appetite And Lightheadedness?
I've been feeling sick since about Sunday night. It started with a loss of appetite and lightheadedness. I went home early from work the Monday because I felt really faint and out of it. I slept the majority of the day and had a very bad headache. Today (Tuesday) I woke up with a mild temp (100 degrees) and still felt very lightheaded, dizzy, and detached. I have no idea what it is. I don't want to go back to work until I figure this out because I work with kids and need to be focused and I'm pretty sure a visit to the doctor will only leave me with advice to sleep more and drink water... which I'm doing.
