Are Intermittent Weakness In Legs And Palpitations Concerning Or Just The Flu Dying Off?

I was diagnosed with the flu exactly one week ago- I finished a course of Tamiflu yesterday. I m currently not febrile nor do I have any cough/congestion but I ve only today developed intermittent weakness in my legs that I ve only had previously from strenuous exercise. This weakness occurs after no particular activity. I am also having palpitations intermittently as well. Is this concerning or just the flu dying off?
