I'm not sick but all of a sudden developed flu like symptoms feeling cold, body aches, lightheaded, random chest pain, overheating, sweating. why?

New viral illness?: Often a viral illness will begin suddenly with these symptoms. That is the most likely cause. However other more serious infections can also cause these nonspecific symptoms, like an aggressive urinary tract infection. If symptoms persist or worsen then medical care is recommended.
