Yes. Said come back Monday if no better.
The paramedic did say there's lots of unexplained viruses about at the moment.

Do you know if your blood sodium level was checked? It's unlikely but could be the problem.
Dehydration can lead to low blood sodium. Symptoms can include dizziness, confusion, unsteadiness, vomiting, headaches, hallucination and, eventually, coma. Different cause but that's what the old man has done 18 days of the last 22 I'm hospital with.
If it is low be very careful. Don't try to treat yourself unless you fancy being paralysed.

You are entitled to all your results, and they are free if they were done in the last couple of months. They will argue, but you are legally entitled so do not be put off. This can be useful in the future if you fall ill again, so you can look for a pattern.
Swine flu?

I thought it was Ebola and man flu rolled into one
Could be 
Swine flu comes on very fast, even in a matter of a few hours, makes you dizzy, hot sweat whilst feeling freezing cold and shivering, weakness. But then probably lots of other viruses do the same.
Do hope you're feeling better soon.
Does your hospital have a good reputation?

If you listen to the local experts on the grapevine then no not really a good reputation at all.
We've had 2 babies there and cause to use A&E maybe 5 times in 10 years (2 relatively serious) and I can't fault it one little bit.

Getting in bother for going to a sale.
Someone's driven me. Can just about manage walking round and nodding my head but that's about the limit. I think 2 bags of fluid have done the trick
