Symptoms: dizzy as hell, muscle aches in my arms just from lifting them, sinus headache, sore throat, cough, throbbing stomache pain, raspy voice occassionally, hard time breathing. Can't find a thermometer for temp.
Taken within the past 24 hours: spoonful of cough syrup, 3 or 4 sudafed, two pamprin, tablespoon of pepto bismal one tylenol.
Food intake today: tuna fish and crackers, fruit gummies, pizza, italian bread, a lot of homemade tea. I haven't eaten since about eight and a half hours ago. Ive had the sinus issues and sore throat for a short while but today has been the worst and my appetite has decreased extremely.
My original thoughts were that I just took too much medicine. But the longer I sit and wait for some of the meds to wear off, I feel worse. I'm not a hypochondriac but I'm seriously considerring toxic shock syndrome. I am on my period and I always wear a tampon. I usually change it every 6 or 8 hours but the past few times I've barely bled and kept them in longer. I looked up the symptoms for TSS and I fit a few. So I'm kinda scared.
I'm submitting this to general medical because I don't know if it's TSS. Any answers are thoroughly appreciated. I'm just a scared, sick person right now who could use some help.
