coming on FAAAAST!

Hi, ok, I burnt the candle at both ends for about 4 days straight. It wouldn't probably be a problem, but I am 33 years old, and I have HepC. I also was smoking when I normally wouldn't be. By the way, there was no alcohol consumption involved.

All of a sudden on my last "run-run-run" day, I started getting a sore throat. I chalked it up to smoking. By the night, I had an irritating cough, and my sore throat & cough pretty much kept me up all night. Today, I am not only coughing, and sneezing, but I have the sore throat from hell, and my ribs are very achey and sore all the way around to my back.

Should I be concerned? It's a little scary because this came on so fast. I think I may have a fever - no thermometer to check yet. Do I need to call my doctor, or should I let this ride?

Thanks
