Lyme?: It's not lyme disease from this particular tick bite, as it is too soon, but your symptoms could be related to the tick bite itself. If you've had a previous tick bite, even if unnoticed, you could have lyme disease. These are vague/general symptoms. You need an evaluation by your physician, who may consider treating w/ antibiotics empirically.
