Does this sound like viral meningitis?

Felt extremely hot at night

Waves of heat radiating from the chest, neck and head. Hot flashes

Migraines that would last for days. It felt like I was wearing an extremely tight hat.

Feet would sweat whenever I put covers on (first symptom)

Tears would randomly come out of my eyes, thought it was allergies at the time.

Heart would race out of nowhere.

I would have random rushes of sensitivity in my teeth

Stomach would feel like it's tying itself into a knot

Extreme Brain Fog

Pressure behind eye

Extreme sinus pressure

Swollen lymph nodes

Trouble swallowing and I couldn't burp either

Constantly nauseous

Sinus pressure between eyes.

Congested

Extremely tight neck and shoulders. I would hear grinding and cracking noises when twisting my neck.

Impending doom, thoughts of delirium. One time I was in the bathroom with the fan on and I thought I could hear music.

Hair Loss

Fatigue

Felt like I had a 30 lbs weight on my chest.

Rapid breathing

Facial twitches

Tinnitus

I remember my right arms and my face went numb at one point too.

I noticed physical changes like the veins in my arms became really pronounced and my left abdomen became really distended.

I had no rash

Could this have been viral meningitis?

I have another pre-existing condition so I'm not sure if my symptoms were viral meningitis.

The only way to know is to go to er & get a spinal tap. I didn't have many of those things but every body is different. You should go see so you get help. I have Pots syndrome now from viral meningitis because I didn't get proper care.
