Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
During flu tiredness is a very common symptom, it happens simply because your body is recruiting resources to fight against the infection (simplest way of saying it). so rest proper hydration is the key for quick recovery. if symptoms worsened and stayed longer than a week please refer to your doctor.
get better soon, and hope that helped.
