    Severe Weakness, Spaced out feeling, trouble breathing
    This morning I knew something was wrong, I'm the type of person who wakes up at 6am every single day without any problems. I'm normally full of energy and I'm worried about my health. I woke up and I felt like I couldn't get out of my bed this morning. I managed to get out of bed 45 minutes later than you normally do(for me this is a big difference). Then I took a cool shower in an attempt to wake myself up in the morning. It was about 16 dagrees out this morning and the cold didn't seem to shake me what-so ever. I feel limp weak and like I'm controlling myself from outside my body with puppet strings. I went to sleep around 9:30 last night and I normally go to bed around 10:30 or 11. Does anyone have any clue what's wrong with me?

    Do you have a fever? You need to call your doctor. These symptoms could be the result of something very serious. Please make the call and let us know how you are.

    I'm running a slight fever of 101.6 and my doctor is booked till tomorrow morning, I might end up going to a walk in if I feel up to it. If not I feel like if I wait I'll be too weak to drive and I wouldn't want to put anyone at risk. Also my eyes are really dry if this helps anyone come up with something? I explaind the symptoms to the doctor and he said that he would have to take a look at this medical books and get back to me I hope I'm not seriously ill.

    Do you live alone?

    Can the doctor make an after surgery call?

    Is there a 'care doc' in your area?

    I hope you were kidding when you said the doctor was going to check the medical books? Have you been drinking enough fluids? When your eyes are dry it sometimes is a sign of dehydration. I am not in the medical profession just drawing from life experiences. You could have the flu. Are you having trouble breathing? Headache? Blurred vision? The weakness could simply be a result of the fever. I would consider a walk in and getting a different doc :-)

    If your having problems breathing then yes I think you need immediate help. If your chest pains are severe same thing. You can have the flu without being congested. Isn't there anyone who can take you to an urgent care?

    Sounds like you have the flu to me. The flu does not always mean coughs and nasal congestion. Many times its nothing more than fever, weakness and muscle fatigue. Tylenol for the fever every 4 hours.
