Seem to running some infection?

[Slosh]

Hi all - just want some advice. I seem to be running some infection started last Friday - very tired, feel a little feverish, bit achy - but the aches keeps changing, headaches, heart racing and a bit dizzy / faint at times.

Haven’t been able to take time off to rest - just going to bed earlier.

I live in Crawley now but my doc is in Wimbledon so it’s quite a trek - but don’t want to change (Shhhh..) because he knows all my stuff.

Can the steroids be masking something?

On 8mg / 7.5 alternating days.

Can’t take any meds because of my histamine intolerance.

Thanks

You really do need to see your gp especially with your symptom of heart racing. It could well be a virus but better to get it checked even if it does involve a trek.YBB

Thanks.

The tachycardia and dizziness alone is as good a reason to take a bit of time off work (are you still working?) and go to your GP. If the distance is perceived as a reason for NOT going then you need to rethink it - and given the distance I think you have to. Is there an urgent care centre locally?

I am still working. There is a walk in at the local hospital. I don’t find them great - but will go - thank you.
