According to my doctor, by age 18, 70% of people have been exposed enough to show a false positive on a mono test, even if not currently infected. If it happens around age 10, it can just look like a cold.

That's called "orthostatic hypotension." Fancy way of saying your blood pressure drops too low when you stand up. The rest of it sounds a whole lot like mono. GO TO A DOCTOR, THEY DON'T BITE, THEY WON'T HURT YOU.
