I've been running a fever since last night and now I'm dealing with really intense upper back pain. It's so bad I can't even stand without feeling like I'm going to fall over. What's going on? Should I be worried?

I've been experiencing leg pain after eating, and I recently had some blood tests done. Turns out, I have high cholesterol and deficiencies in vitamin D and B12. Could these issues be causing the leg pain? I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any advice.

I'm dealing with fever, loose motion, and vomiting since this morning, and I'm feeling so weak I cant even make it downstairs to see a doctor. What could be causing this? Should I be worried and what can I do at home to feel better?

I recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg for fever, loperamide 2mg for loose motions, and ondansetron 4mg for vomiting. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention.
