I started to have a sore throat on saturday then yesterday I developed a bad cough, now today I am feeeling light headed and dizzy, I threw up once, I feel weak, tired and faint, my joints are aching I have a very bad headache, so bad it hurts when I move my eyes, could this be swine flu or just a normal flu? I am also suffering from shortness and breath and feel like I can't breath properly I have a very high temperature and feel cold all the time even though everyone else is roasting

Instead of wasting your time here..just go to a Doc..From the symptoms there is a possibility that it might be swine flu. Just go to the Doc and make sure its not that hyped flu.

Swine flu and the regular flu present the exact same symptoms, since they're different strains of the same virus. The only way to know for sure is to go to the hospital and get tested.

Diarrhea is also a symptom so if you don't have that then I wouldn't worry, but go to the doctor just in case.

A major issue in the swine flu virus H1N1 is the flu cell attacks the lung cells and causes them to die, in doing so they leave a gap that both leaks fluid (mucus) and blood, the person infected coughs blood and mucus. This was a sure sign in my grandson and he was then hospitalized and tested. He was given medication plus fluids Thur I.V/ 's after two days he was home.

What ever type of flu bug this is you need to take all the precautions of it and get well soon. Take 2 Tylenol or 2 Ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours. Drink a lot of warm water to keep hydrated and try to flush this awful stuff out of your system. Also Gargle with warm salt water at least twice a day and also cleanse your nasal passages with warm salt water solution with some Q-tips or a squirt bulb. Drink as much warm water as you possibly can and other fluids to act the same as Gargling except in the reverse direction to flush the bacteria out of your system and cleanse your mouth and throat of any bacteria and down into the stomach where it cannot proliferate and cannot survive and cannot do you any further harm. These are great preventive measures and preventive against proliferation into your system of any flu viruses bacteria. Wash your hands frequently and keep them clean. Do not touch your face except only to assist in feeding yourself or bathing yourself. Take Vitamin C supplements with Zinc to insure a faster absorption into your body. Also eat a lot of Vitamin C enriched foods to help boost and build a stronger immunity system and help you fight off any of these viruses. Drink as much warm water as you possibly can and other fluid to keep you hydrated and also to act as a Gargling except in the reverse direction to flush out any bacterias in your mouth to go into the stomach where it cannot survive and cannot proliferate in your body and cannot do you any further harm. These steps were given by a doctor who is head of the Nuclear Medicine Department and also a Specialist in Thyroid conditions that suggested these methods as a preventive against swine flu/ H1N1 viruses and also says he believes these to act the same as the vaccines offered to prevent the viruses attacking. I really believe they help as I have been using these steps for quite a while and feel quite healthy. It will probably still help you too to flush this out of your system much faster. Continue to take the pain/ fever medication to ease your symptoms.

Your symptoms are very similar to normal flu and only after undergoing a H1N1 test, can you say that you are suffering from this viral fever. Otherwise, normal flu and swine flu have the same kind of symptoms. In order to clarify whether you are having swine flu, you have to look for certain points like the intensity of symptoms (abnormally high fever, nausea, vomiting continuously), if you are in contact with people already exposed to swine flu or similar infections, and your age. Consult your doctor if you find any abnormality in your health or gradual decline in your health.
