Should I go to the doctor?!

If this is caused, you really need to see a doctor and ask him/her if your ok, If your okay that's fine, & it may be because your just really sick, I do nor know if you are very sick, or just normal. It happened to me once. But I did have a temperature ... once again I do nor know...

It sounds like you have a simple cold virus. If you're not running much of a fever, it's probably not the flu. Your doctor will probably tell you to take some cough syrup, Tylenol, and maybe a decongestant like Sudafed, as long as you don't have other underlying health problems like high blood pressure or diabetes, asthma or emphysema. If you DO have any of these problems, call your doctor. If you don't, and you're not feeling better in about a week or ten days, then see a doctor. If you DO start running a fever over 102 degrees, then see a doctor sooner rather than later. If you're feeling hot flashes or chills, definitely check your temperature with a thermometer. That's really the only reliable way to tell if you're running a fever or not.

you could always go to one of those self diagnosis websites. It is most likely just a very bad cold, and in my own experience, unless you are having difficulty breathing, feel faint, or any other symptoms not related to a cold, you should be fine. But if you are concerned, you could definitely check up with your doctor (probably even by phone). If you are curious or worried they would be glad to help you out!

Here are a few free self diagnosis websites.
