Fatigue, headaches, nausea, and insomnia: anyone else feeling this?

I just got back from a week-long vacation this past Sunday, and honestly, I started feeling pretty rough before I even made it home. It kicked off with these brutal headaches, and then things escalated to the point where I was actually feeling lightheaded and dealing with constant nausea. It’s been four days now, and it’s just going in waves without ever really letting up. Every single day I’m fighting off a headache, getting exhausted way too fast, and sleeping for long stretches (even though I’m usually an early riser). On top of that, there's the nausea... I just feel completely wiped out. The struggle is that I have work, and I really can't afford to be sidelined like this right now.
Could this be a vitamin or mineral deficiency? Or maybe my immune system is just crashing? Any advice at all would be appreciated...
Thanks!!!

I think the smartest move would be to go see a doctor. It’s possible you just picked up a virus, or maybe it was an insect bite, though I suppose it could even be something psychological. It can be really tough to break out of a rut once you're in one. If this feeling sticks around, you should definitely check in with a medical professional.

It kicked off with these absolutely brutal headaches—to the point where I actually blacked out once—and I've been dealing with constant nausea ever since. It’s been four days now, and while the intensity fluctuates, it simply refuses to let up. Every single day involves a nagging headache, I'm hitting a wall of exhaustion incredibly fast, and despite sleeping for long stretches, I can't seem to shake it (even though I usually wake up at the crack of dawn). Toss in the bouts of nausea, and I just feel completely wiped out. The real issue is that I have work responsibilities, and I really can't afford to be sidelined like this.

And for heaven's sake, dear, is there any chance you might be pregnant?

I thought about that too, but I don't think that's it.
Now I've actually started coughing; looks like I might have caught a cold... or maybe it's just that flu going around😢
Either way, I'm heading to the doctor on Monday
