Do I need to see a doctor about this?

[Anonymous]

I don't want this to be too long, so I'll try to shorten it.

- I got sick on Wednesday: Freezing, headache, and sore throat. Thursday was the same, except I couldn't talk at all.
- Friday (or today): Woke up with a stuffy nose, I could talk a little, headache wasn't as bad, and coldness went away.
- Sometimes I feel faint when I stand or move. It feels like blood is rushing to my head.
- My ears keep ringing at random times throughout the day. They hurt as I type this.

It seemed things were going well, but I noticed this weird taste in my mouth. It began around noon I think, and hasn't gone away. It wasn't until I blew my nose (and saw red) that I realized I was tasting blood all day. I checked my gums and they're not bleeding.

What's wrong with me? To shorten it: I taste blood coming from my throat, I had a nose bleed, my ears ring and hurt, and I get lightheaded often. Is this a bad sign? Do I need to see a doctor?

Yes!!

No, you're fine.

If people could stop being sarcastic, that'd be great.

The tasting blood thing could be fine, I know my nose will sometimes bleed and it'll run down my throat making me taste and smell blood.

I'm not sure about the rest, it almost sounds like a cold

Go and see a doctor, even if it's not something you'll die from, you'd better get some good medecine for that

The blood rushing isn't anything everyone gets that. Yes you are sick but you shouldn't go the doctor you should ask for people on here for medical advice we have lots of medical experts on here lol.

Drink plenty of water or you will need to. Stay hydrated when you're sick

I do. At first I couldn't drink anything, but now I'm consuming a normal amount.
