Notes -
My health is in a somewhat dire state for the last few days. Heres a timeline for what happened.
Friday
4PM onwards: Extreme dizziness, Fever, Sore throat
Took Paracetamol and slept.
Saturday
Too fatigued to leave the bed. Fever. No sore throat., Blocked Nose
Fever broke at night.
Sunday
Relatively alright, almost no symptoms, mild tiredness, Gastritis
Monday
4PM onwards: Extreme dizziness, mild fever again, vomiting, Gastritis
Fever abated in an hour or so, and dizziness reduced after vomiting, but still somewhat dizzy.
Visit doctor at night. Administers blood test (complete blood count and CRP) (Both returned everything normal. Lymphocyte % is below reference range but the absolute amount is within range. I was on an empty stomach because of the vomiting so that could have affected it )
Sent me home with paracetamol, and a proton pump inhibitor.
Tuesday (Today)
Extreme dizziness and fatigue, No Fever, Slightly blocked nose, no gastritis.
What do I specifically tell the doctor in my post blood test followup today?

Why did you go see a doctor after only a few days? I’ve been coughing up phlegm for five weeks and I haven’t set foot in a clinic.
Some value their health more than others. Catching illnesses early in the present world could be the difference between immortality and early death. I don’t blame him!
