Feels Light Headed And Dizzy, Achy Body. Took Tylenol. Headache Subsided. Flu? Any Advice?

Hi...mom is light headed dizzy...aches all over body...especially neck, back and elbows and knees...took Tylenol 2 hours ago....headache subsided, but still very light headed and weak...she is 69 and obese 230lbs 5 -3 ...should I be overly concerned based on her symptoms, or is this more like the flu? Temp with digital thermometer on forehead is 100.0 degrees F...would appreciate advice as I feel helpless as she is in a lot of pain and miserable yet refuses to go to doctor...

Hi your mom is highly obese. The headache may be because of high blood pressure. My advice will be better take her to dr and get her blood pressure checked. As she is obese do get her body profile done with ecg and 2decho. By the time you can safely give her disprine or paracetamole for temperory relief. Bye and take care fear.
