Are The Symptoms Of Chills, Fatigue, Irritability, Abdominal Stiffness, And Lethargy A Sign Of Seasonal Flu?
Chills, fatigue, irritability, low energy/motivation, lethargy, difficulty concentrating, stiffness/aches/sore muscles (particularly in the abdomen, shins/legs and lumbar) persistent for better part of one week to 10 days. I took my temperature yesterday and it measured 96F. Even under six duvets and wearing a sweatshirt, socks and sweat pants to bed, I felt cold. I am 43F with PAH (2007) but am otherwise in good general health. Last test for LH and FSH had normal results (not perimenopausal). Could this be seasonal flu or something else?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your desription. I suggest you not to worry much. All the symptoms you are mentioning here are also associated with seasonal flu. But you cannot forego the conditions as just flu, because you cannot dignose self. You are not trained an experienced. Let a trained doctor do it. If the symptoms persists for another two more days, or if there is a rise in temperature, you should consult a physician.
Hope this answers your query. Availble for further clarifications.
