Rob D. What is happening to me?

Saturday night I had a minor sore throat I woke on Sunday morning 8am with loss of equalibrium and a sense of a very bad hang-over; although I do not drink.

I sat up in bed feeling like I was going to puke. I layed back down for another four hours only to still be dizzy. I felt like going to the emergency room but thought otherwise. I decided to pray and give myself tests on things I should know. I later woke eight hours past the initial symptoms only to find luckily the symptoms had diminished or almost disappeared.

I layed on the couch and two hours later I developed what I perceive to be a bad cold. I was sneezing and had to blow my nose almost very thirty second. Monday morning I woke; not dizzy, my cold not in full force, but now I get up and I am limping on my left heal. I went out to gather some food and to walk off the pain in my foot. I returned to my home later unable to walk. I could not put any pressure on my left heal. I could not sleep due to the throbbing in my foot. Tuesday I woke and with the assistance from my sister, she said she read on WEB MD the symptoms of a heal spur and to ice and exercise to correct. So I did and here I sit only to speculate if any of these symptoms will return worse or will I develop any other exciting symptoms.
