Are these symptoms of Bacterial Meningitis?!
Question: Are these symptoms of Bacterial Meningitis!?
I'm a hypochondriac and every time I read or hear about a certain illness, I seem to get a mild version of the symptoms!. That's why I'm doubting a bit, but I don't want to take chances!.
I've had a mild headache for about 3 days now!. Today I've been exhausted and I've had neck discomfort (I can move my neck freely but it aches)!. I also felt light headed a couple times today (but I also suffer from frequent panic attacks and the light headedness is often a symptom of that) and I've had minor chills and nausea!.
Is this my mind playing tricks on me!? I know bacterial meningitis is deadly that's why I want to make sure!. If it was any other non lethal illness I wouldn't be bothered as much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If I were you I would rather have some tests done by a professional to eliminate certain illnesses and to establish what is wrong!. It sounds like a mild attack of migraine, but do not play with your health!Www@Answer-Health@Com
There's a meningococcus vaccine that you can get!. If it's not meningitis this time, but you're still worried, you can get vaccinated!. I think when I got it, it was between $100-150!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
