Lately, I've been having these problems:

I've been having fevers almost constantly over the past week, but not excessively high ones. I've also had severe throat pain that can only be soothed when I eat or drink. I think it's my tonsils but I'm unsure. I've just felt kinda ache like the flu, but I know it's not that; I don't have a stuffed nose or any other flu-like symptoms. When I get up from sitting or lying, my head starts to really hurt and I feel almost dizzy or light headed.. as if I want to just fall over.

The weirdest thing is when I'm all but completely healthy again, today I went out and played baseball for maybe 10 minutes. At that point, however, I started to feel really weak, craving sugar. All I wanted to do was run in and eat like a box of Reeses or something else that's really sweet. After going in and eating a ton of candy and an ice cream cone, I felt better. Why does this happen? Sometimes I fear I have a tumor or diabetes or something, but I'm not going to doctor to get it checked out. Have any of you come across these feelings before?
