Q: Post Viral Infection After Travel

Hi,

i recently got back from israel after becoming ill there and being taken into hospital with general weakness, headache and upset stomach. Since then i've been getting worse and now ache all over, with bad rib and chest pains, weakness, light headedness, nausea, stomach ache and breathlessness on and off. Basically I just feel crap and have no energy.


My doctor told me it might be 'some sort of a virus' and that was it. But i've been getting worse over the week and had some really bad pains last night that I was doubled over. So I went to a&e today and they saw me. They did no tests, but checked blood pressure, chest etc which was fine. I've been told it's a post viral infection that i've picked up and that it'll be another couple of weeks before I feel better. It's already been two weeks so you can imagine i'm fed up and just want to get better. Just wondered if anyone else has had anything like this? Thanks in advance. Lysette. Sad
