About five days ago I started getting kinda sick. Like, cold sick. Coughing, sneezing, feeling a little tired, no big deal. Then an hour or two later I started feeling feverish-really warm, yet shivering, I felt very tired and just wanted to sleep. This lasted for a day or two and then I started feeling more energetic and just better in general.
But now I'm thinking perhaps it hasn't gone away. My mom keeps feeling my head and my arms and legs and saying that I feel very hot to the touch, but when I read my temperature it's within the normal range. The headache I developed the night I got sick is still around, and my eyes feel warm and a little dry.
I don't know what's happening to me. I'm trying so hard not to panic about it but I can't stop thinking that something horrible is happening to me. I don't know if it's my mom's words getting to me but I'm starting to feel sicker. My head aches and my sinuses feel warm and kinda swollen, and I just...I'm scared. I'm thinking I have sepsis or something like that and Google has done nothing but worsen my anxiety. I can't call my doctor's office until tomorrow and I'm so terrified I won't make it.
Is there an urgent or ER you can visit? Just for peace of mind?
There is but I had such a problem with going there for every little thing in the past that I really don't want to go there unless I absolutely positively need to
Common symptom of being Electro-magnetic (hyper)Sensitive, experience flu-like symptoms that can be gone the next day due to overheating. The face feels flushed, you might even see redness on the cheeks and forehead but your body's internal temperature stays the same. In this situation dousing your wrists under cold water for a while will lower your temperature and will bring (temporary) relief as at some point your body will heat up again. Most likely it's an outer source influence that is on for longer periods of time, like a Laptop connected through wifi from the neighbors. It is often accompanied by feeling a pressure on the body, feeling out of breath, heart flutters, unable to completely fill your lungs, experiencing tingling/prickling sensations, feeling disoriented, experiencing feelings of despair(usually after hours of exposure), the feeling as if your forehead is filled with sand and feels heavy, stiff neck, lower backpain, problems with speaking, unable to form a clear thought and unable to concentrate and fall asleep.
I usually experience these symptoms during cold weather, but the last 8 months I've lived an extremely healthy lifestyle and I wonder if I will still experience them during this winter.
U will be fine it’s a mind thing at times I feel so many things going wrong with me but I just relax and take deep breaths and try not to worry the more we worry the more we feel something is wrong .. I get tightness under my breast right by my rib cage and diaphragm I have had so many test and they see nothing I sometime think I have a hernia because my chest and stomach sometimes. Feel like it want to explode and I don’t know what’s causing the inflammation I am hoping it’s nothing but it bothers me a lot .. I just relax and when I do it goes away . I wish u the best and as I said relax and drink some tea and try to think of positive things it’s alwats seem to work
No one can tell if someone has or how high a temp is by feeling you. You feel the warmth from your own hands when you do this. You say your fever is gone? What was it when you took it? If you have a fever especially if high with a headache and "sinus" symptoms I would consider a call to your doc to see if he wants to see you, which he probably would to see if you have an infection going on. Sepsis doesn't linger! Hope you feel better.
