Flu like symptoms

[phil06]

I have and flu like symptoms numbness or sensible areas in my body and feel generally tired and run down but I’ve not had runny noise or cough.

What could be the cause? It came on sudden at work today

[phil06]

Today I have felt sweaty and hot and cold and very tried. Can it really be flu causing this?

yep you have a bug, keep drinking fluids and wait for it to pass.

Who knows what it is - we can't say really.

Go to the doctor and ask them

I can go next week if need be

but right now I am worrying that I feel so unwell

[phil06]

So it’s been a week since this happened. Last Thursday my muscles felt tense and I felt weak. I was in bed for days after struggling through last few days of work

This week it’s got worse I feel sick after eating and I have a bad cough. Taking cough medicine, paracetamol but nothing is shifting it.

Every day I wake up feeling crap. I can’t afford a sick day at work as I am skint but I feel atleast at work I’m not thinking about the symptoms.

As I have health anxiety I feel I’m dying and this is never getting any better. Anybody got any advice? People think as I make work I’m fine but when I come in I need to go right to bed?

Since I got the cold a month ago I’ve had some headaches feels like my head is being squeezed or I’ve been under water and my ears popped can this be due to flu?
