What Causes Recurring Fever With Lethargy,appetite Loss And Headaches?
Hello. I am 23 year old female experience fevers, lethargy, loss of appetite, and occasional headaches. I drink plenty of water and gatorade here and there as that is the only thing I can stomach. I havent been sleeping much the past few days and I dont seem to be getting better. The fever is not accompanied by any "sniffles," sore throat, or cold symptoms. My blood pressure is also somewhat low. I have family history of heart disease on my fathers side.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!
I really appreciate your concern. This symptoms correspond to viral fever. If person comes to my clinic with similar symptoms I would ask him about duration of fever, whether it is continuous or intermittent, high grade or low grade, whether it is increasing with time. I would recommend him/her some blood tests like complete blood count and Malaria parasite test.
If it is viral fever then treatment is symptomatic only. You have to take plenty of electrolyte rich fluid, analgesics and antibiotics.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
