I believe I am experiencing the flu. I
started aching on thursday, spent all day
friday in bed with aches and fever and by
saturday the fever was reducing but I am
still sick.
Another symptom has begun and that is
vertigo. When I lay my head down or
rise from sleep, even as I walk from the
bed to bath, the room tilts and I feel as
though I might loose consciousness.
Is this normal for flu?

Flu And Doc Visit Posted: 12-18-03 23:01pm
If you wait more than 48 hours from the
start of symptoms there is nothing the
doctor can do for the flu. You can only
treat the symptoms after the first 48
hours. Before then, you can take an
antiviral that will reduce the length and
severity. They are useless if you don't
start them until the 3rd day. Rest,
fluids, and treating symptoms. Stay
home. Don't go to work or school.
