Go to hospital now: Viral meningitis can't be diagnosed online so you need to get evaluated immediately to be sure it's nothing worse. Don't wait until your family finds you unconscious. Have them drive you there.

Get help: You should immediately seek medical attention. Viral meningitis has many of the same symptoms as bacterial meningitis which is very dangerous and often deadly. You need medical help to properly diagnose what you have. You may need antibiotics, IV fluids or have electrolyte imbalances which could only be diagnosed at a proper medical facility.
