What Are Symptoms Of West Nile?

I don't know If this is a legit doctor or not but the last few days I have had the chills, I can't stop sleeping, diharria, and I am really dizzy and I don't know of I have the flu or what? I also have a lot of mosquito bites I got this past weekend so I don't know if it could be signs of west Nile or what?
