I recently spent the weekend at my sister's house. She had a cook out and everyone was outside a lot. Just recently I have started feeling ill. My neck is stiff, my body has a few aches (ecspecially in my legs and shoulders), I'm tired (could be because I'm busy), I also have a mild head ache, I also get dizzy spells where I crash into things and not even knowing how (kind of like being drunk only I don't drink and never have). I don't know if it's because of stress or something more serious. Please help!

I've had bug bites, mosquito bites to be exact. I'm not sure about a fever. I don't have a license so no chance of me driving. I ran into a fridge when I was at my sisters house.

My dehydration is fine. The cook out was mainly at night.

Go see a doctor....get some tests taken. Could be serious or nothing. Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon.

I'm not a doctor, but you should see one.
What you have could be from being tired and/or stressed, it could be some kind of virus, it could even be a bacterial infection. The fact that your neck is stiff could indicate menengitis. The dizziness is consistent with that, but menengitis usually comes with a pretty high fever.
Bottom line: your symptoms, in the combination you have them, if they're pretty severe, are serious enough so you should see a doctor, not ask a bunch of yahoos.

Make an appointment with your doctor. You may have been bitten by a tick, which could cause lyme disease. You did not mention if you had a rash. Because you were outside and then started with these symptoms it sounds like lyme disease. The doctor can run tests for this. You need to be seen quickly as you can become very, very, sick. Good luck to you.

It would be wiser to put your life in the hands of a doctor than a bunch of people on a website... I doubt any of us are doctors and there are so many things that have similar symptoms... call you doctor tomorrow and get an appointment. Make sure you tell the person who schedules the appointment what your symptoms are... some symptoms put you at the front of the line... good luck

Whatever it is, you really need to do something about it. See a doctor soon. I think this calls for an ER visit. You could get hurt if you are getting dizzy and crashing into things. See a doctor. Get someone to take you. You should not be driving.

I don't know what is wrong but the stiff neck is troublesome. That can be a sign of menningitis. I would get to a Dr, especially if you are a young person who shares drinks, cigs or food utensils with others as you catch it through saliva.

Did you get any bug bites? Do a check. Are you dehydrated? Drink water. Now. You could also have gotten just too much sun and heat.

A stiff neck with all those other symptoms is serious. See a doctor if it happens again!
I'm not saying what it could be, so I won't scare you, but it is not something simple like catching somebody's cold!!!!!!!

It all depends if you eat regularly or not. I know that if I don't eat, nor feel hungry, after a while I get a mild headache & if I don't eat then I feel sick & dizzy at times.
Just make sure you're not eating junky things, nor fast food. Those aren't swell for the body ya*know? :P
Good Luck.

My guess is your coming down with a viral infection. If your headache gets worse, the stiff neck persists, and you develop a fever w/chills, see a doctor ASAP...could be meningitis.
