Flu shot?: Have you had a flu shot recently? I would recommend that you see an MD due to the weakness. Evaluation of neuromuscular status should be done.

Try these things: At 16 years old this is unlikely to be serious. Try these thigs 1) drink at least 6 - 8oz glasses of water a day, 2) take a multivitamin daily, 3) do not drink sodas, 4) avoid drinking more than 1-2 drinks a day with caffeine, 5) don't drink alcohol or smoke, 6) eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and 7) walk 30 minutes per day. If you are not feeling better in a few days, see a doctor.
