What Causes Heaviness In The Body, Chills And High Fever?

I ve been sick 5 times since the first of April. It always starts off by my feeling like I weigh twice what I do. Then the chills set in. Nothing will make me warm. I actually ran the header in my car - on a 90 degree day. That s the first day. The second day I m not running as high a fever and have little to no chills but I feel completely drained. The third day I m pretty much back to normal except being more tired than usual. Twice during the 5 times I experienced digestive issues, throwing up, diarhea (sp?) but not the other 3 tiimes. Any guesses?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

More than likely you were experiencing a viral illness. There are different types of viral infections that can occur affecting the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract etc

Fever and chills can occur with any viral infection.

Diarrhea and other symptoms related to the GI tract would indicate an infection involving this system.

Fatigue can last up to 2 to 3 weeks after the acute illness

I hope this helps
