Background: 16,female,5f6,98pounds (yes i know im underweight and no i do not have an eating disorder).

At school on friday i started getting chills then getting really hot the next minute but i stuck it out and made it through the day. I came home and crashed pretty much. I had a fever of 100.4 then. Its now monday and im still getting chills sometimes but mostly hot flashes. I had a headache which got worse every time i moved my head but now that has pretty musch gone. My fever at its highest was 102 and i could barely get down the stairs without feeling lightheaded. I woke up in the middle of the night last night soaked in sweat.

so my symptoms as of now are:
-coughing...sometimes lots of snot
-slight fever that gets worse at night-up to 101
-hot flashes, cold sweats

is this the flu???
if so what do i do since they cant give me tamiflu...i figure its too late for that now.
do i let it take it course or what will they give me if i do visit a dr? i rly dont wanna go =[

I've been recently told I have a fatty liver with inflammation but the outlook and severity differ in different doctors. I've had one doctor say its SERIOUS while others say its MILD. Some say its treatable (only weight loss, diet, exercise) and reversible some say its not as easy. Who should I trust after seeing a multitude of doctors? Problem is I think maybe I should seek an asian doctor instead. Being asian, I was told that this is a condition that is prevalent in asians, even skinny ones whereas this condition for caucasians happens more to the obese-morbidly obese. My line of thinking is that asian doctors understand "our" phsyiology much better and probably have experience treating asians with this condition since most asians tend to like seeing asian doctors. Is this a good idea? Because I've been getting a lot of questions unanswered from "caucasian" doctors I dont' think they really know how to treat me. A lot of wishy-washy responses.

I was sent for endoscopy and was diagnosed with "moderately severe reflex oesophagitis", "gastritis" and "duodinitis". I was treated with omeprazole for several weeks but the thing did not go. I had to discontinue the treatment because I was finding no improvement and the debts were getting out of manageable proportions. Now I still find difficulty in swallowing, but the most publicly embarrassing is the hiccupping and belching. Is this conidition treatable/curable? Or am I going to continue like this? Am I at risk of fatality? …And I experience shortness of breath. Is this related? What about the dizziness, fatigue, tingilng, vertigo and headaches?

I was reading a book, totally relaxed and kept feeling this sinking feeling in my chest and then I would feel the need for a deep breath. Once or twice would not have alarmed me. This went on for about six hours. I checked my pulse to see if it was my heart and it was. It would stop...and the lurch and then beat normally again for a little while. Sometimes it would do it two or three times in a row and then it would be five minutes or so and it would happen again, never waiting longer than about 10 minutes between. I got up and got a shower at one point thinking that might help but I did it in there too. Circulation was good, extremeties were warm and I was in no pain. What was that? Should I be concerned? I have felt it since but not to that magnitude.

Whenever I eat or drink something that is coffee flavored or has coffee in it, my throat closes up a bit and I wheeze when I breathe. Does that mean I'm allergic to coffee?
