On Friday night, I noticed my eyes hurt. On Saturday night, I noticed a tickle in my throat that made me cough three times. It didn t stop. The coughing seemed to make my blood pressure go up, and I thought I was going to have a stroke. On Sunday morning I was nauseous/dizzy, achy, had a fever, kept coughing, and couldn t get out of bed. It continued through Monday. On Tuesday, I ate a few bites of apple, then I tried to go to the store to buy food for the holidays, but the dizziness and nausea was unbearable. This morning I still felt a little feverish, and the nausea/dizziness is slightly improved. Are these common flu symptoms? When can I expect to feel better?
