4. Dizziness, Headaches, or Fever
As mentioned, many people who have lyme disease suffer from flu like symptoms. This includes fever, headaches, dizziness, malaise, and muscle pain. Almost half of people who have lyme disease report that they have flu like symptoms within a week of being infected. These symptoms could be low level, which makes most people not think about lyme being the possible cause. For example, when a person with lyme gets a fever it will typically be low grade.
Unlike a viral flu, a person with lyme may experience these symptoms off and on. A person who is suffering from these types of symptoms for a period of time and then they go away, only to come back a week or a few weeks later, it could be a sign that you have lyme disease. It is important to go to your doctor and get tested as the sooner that lyme disease is treated the better the results will be.
