Read and reviewed query.
Based on facts of your query, You seem to suffer from-
Anemia with URTI-with Crohn's with Un-noticed Knee Bruise.
Chills/cough lead to dizzyness with cramps in legs - from Hypovolemic fainting feelings, which is giving heavy weakness sensation.Black out attack or disturbed near vision - all are due to hypovolemia/ anemia with accompanied hypoglycemia.
Treats to do-

Plenty of fluids and glucose supplements.
Sufficient liquid diet x 2-3 days time.
Antibiotics for secondary infection if needed.
Get Blood Sugar tests with Hb1 Ac for to rule out any diabetes accompanied with it.
