Arora's Assessment
What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:
-
Viral Infection: This is a common cause of multiple symptoms like headache, stomach pain, neck pain, back pain, cold sweats, and shakiness. Viral infections can cause a wide variety of symptoms and usually resolve on their own within a week or two.
- Treatment typically involves rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications to manage symptoms.
-
Migraine: This is a type of headache that can cause severe throbbing pain, usually on one side of the head. It's often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine attacks can cause significant pain for hours to days and can be so severe that the pain is disabling.
- Treatment of migraines involves medications to help reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
-
Anxiety or Stress: These can cause a variety of physical symptoms, including headache, stomach pain, neck pain, back pain, cold sweats, and shakiness. Anxiety and stress can also make you feel dizzy and cause difficulty sleeping.
- Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, therapy, and sometimes medications.
What you can do
- Rest and hydrate: If it's a viral infection, rest and hydration are the best treatments. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with the headache, neck pain, and back pain.
- Monitor your symptoms: If your symptoms persist for more than a week, or if they get worse, you should seek medical attention.
- Manage stress: If you think stress or anxiety might be contributing to your symptoms, consider stress management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga.

- Severe headache or headache that gets progressively worse
- Fever and stiff neck
- Severe abdominal pain
- Shortness of breath or chest pain
