Can Dizziness, Shivers And Increased Pulse During Flu Be Normal?

Hi my name is Erica. I have the flu & I woke up with a rapid pulse over 100beats per minute which mines usually 80-90. Also I'm really shaky and feel dizzy. Are these just normal symptoms? I haven't taken anything for the cold except tea and 15ml children's ibuprofen at 4:40pm- currently it is 5:10am

Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
You might be suffering from fever that is causing Shaking chills and increase in pulse rate.
I would advise you to get examined by your doctor to find the cause of fever.
I would also suggest you not to take Ibuprofen. Instead of that you can take Paracetamol 650 mg thrice a day.
Also maintain proper hydration.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
