Virus Infection I need some help!


Hey my name is Louis I'm 19.
I've had some type of viral illness for about 23 days now I think. I don't know what kind it is but I'll walk you threw everything. It all started after Christmas I started feeling weak and not very hungry and I had this pressure in the front of my head before then "It started a week before cause I had the common cold." well after that I got better. Then a little bit later I got this virus infection, it start off slow like I didn't have much symptom but every day it just got that much worse. Then by the first of this month it hit me pretty hard my symptoms where, that pressure in my head was getting worse, not able to sleep much, stomach pain, diarrhea, not much of an appetite but I ate cause it help the stomach pain go away. So that lasted for about five days, during that time I took some Benadryl because I thought I had a sinus infection but it didn't help much it just put me to sleep. So on the 5th day I went to the ER and the doctor told me I have a viral infection," That’s how I found out." But he didn't do any real test they just knew by my symptoms so he told me to try and get some rest and drink lots of fluids and he prescribe me a medicine called, "Entex PSE 1 tablet PO take[Q12H PRN Congestion] so I went to Walgreen’s right after and got some Walgreen’s medicine because Sudafed make me feel really weird, so I got some Walgreen’s Mucus Relief and and some Wal-Phed PE, nasal decongestant got home that night and in a few hours I started feeling better but I didn't take the medicine yet, so I woke up the next day feeling a lot better, stomach pain went away and the
pressure in my head mostly went away but I felt something in my throat like something was in it but for the next three days I was getting better and better but by the second night my throat started feel kind of sore so I take some Equate night time but the next day I woke up feeling worse my throat was hurting more I was dizzy and weak so
I stop taking that medicine. The next day started feeling better but then my head pressure
starting coming back so I took that wal-phed pe for the next 4 days I took one everyday but it made my heart feel weird and I stop taking it cause I didn't think I had a sinus problem. So two days later I went to the doctor again and he said there was no signs of anything, sinus were clear, throat clear, ears clear, but he said were going to take some
blood and pee test. So I went home feeling ok then next day I got my blood taken and right after I felt really weak and my stomach pain came back but this time it felt like gas in my stomach was always going in to my heart. it was hard to sleep and it made my heart feel weak but by the next day that went away but the stomach pain didn't so that was this past Wednesday. So my stomach still feels weird I have a lot of gas and I can hear my stomach  bubbling and some times and I have diarrhea and when its not diarrhea its like a mushy looking stool its like yellowish brownish, most of the time it looks like there spit in it. And last night I was laying down and I notices my spleen was swollen or it looks like it, sometime I feel a little bit of pain in that area and I feel a pain near or in my stomach sometimes. I don't know what’s going on I got to wait till this Wednesday to get my results but lately I just been feel kind of  weak and some times dizzy and my spleen is worrying me. I have this weird feel below today when I woke up I feel this cold feeling below it And feels like some thing might be dripping I don’t know maybe I just overreacting seems like I have a different symptoms or one of the other symptoms comes back. today I woke up and my pressure is still there it doesn't hurt but I can feel it in my four head area and near my temple that’s been there for like a month basically sometimes is goes away a little bit and most of the time it comes back. The Doc said it might be Allergies but I never have Allergies.
Please if there anyone that can tell me what I have exactly I would really appreciate the help! You can ask me any question cause I might have forgot something.

also sometimes I get some numbness kinda of in my arms or in my legs?
Could be from laying around all day im not sure. Also today my stomach has like its
own heart beat it seems like, I'm freaking my self out I just want to know whats worn with me!
