What Causes Lethargy And Fatigue During The Night?
I have had the chills for a couple days. Lethargic and at night I am perspiring. I thought I was just breaking the fever on the first night. Now, that it has been 2 nights I am wondering if that is common. I am a bit more tired than usual as well. I work out regularly and some times I use my work out to flush any illness through my body. Should I work out? Do I have pneumonia or just a small cold?

Hi & Welcome.
The symptoms are suggestive of a viral fever or 'flu'.
However the possibility of secondary infection (pneumonia) can not be ruled out. So, it is better get examined by a doctor and get a chest x-ray and CBC done to rule out pneumonia. Meanwhile take Paracetamol tablets and keep your self hydrated. Hope this will help.
