Anybody ever have problems like this?

I'm a fairly healthy person when it comes to sicknesses and illnesses and the like. I have 1-2 head colds every year, either in the spring or fall or both, Because of the flip-flopping weather where I live, and it usually lasts maybe a week and a half to 2 weeks. I am rarely sick with like stomach flu(last time I had it was 6 years ago) or any other major illnesses. When I had chicken pox (I was 9 or 10), I got before my other siblings and had it worse and longer(about 3 weeks) than they did(1 1/2 weeks). Once when I had the flu as a child, my mom said she cam in to kiss me good night and realized I had thrown up and had passed out in my 'stuff'. I had some weird virus like 6 weeks ago, I had a 103 fever for 5 days, and a cough that was sometimes so bad I was gagging and throwing up. My mom said I was practically delirious and hardly responded at all when people tried to talk to me(which she also says happens whenever I get those major sicknesses), I don't remember these things at all. After the fever broke, the cough lingered for about 4 weeks and during that time I would have bouts where I would get insanely winded and feel dizzy. Like I said, other than the flu that I had 6 years ago this is the first time I'd been sick like that in awhile. I'm generally pretty healthy other than those 2 colds in the spring and fall. Does anybody else have this problem and can anybody offer and insight or advice about it?

Exercise, eating healthy will help boost your immune system. Get tested for allergies as some symptoms are the same as with some colds/flues. If you get migraines from weather change link , it is more likely due to the change in atmospheric pressure. Your body is used to operating at a certain temp or pressure and a sudden change can cause problems.

Inside the house, make sure the air filters are changed in the fall and mid winter. That could prevent some stuff from irritating your throat at night.

You had a viral infection, and having been healthy for so long, your immune system wasn't up to handling it easily, that's all. The price we pay for being healthy is that when we DO get sidk, often it's more serious that it would be for someone who frequently has viral infections.

i agree lol and it sucks! :-)

[martyfellow]

Best answer though right?

Unless you have an abnormal CBC or have a history of chronic diseases in your family, I wouldn't pursue it any further.
