Get a test for mono.

Glandular fever, perhaps...

I don't know, but I can say that mono won't give you headaches or disorientation, so I wouldn't bother with that.

Based on those symptoms, my anecdotal experience suggests concussion or a brain tumor. I'm sure it could be a lot of other things, too, but those are the ones I have experience with. Any time you're feeling disorientation, you should see a physician--that's just too potentially dangerous to ignore. edit: or migraines. I've got a friend who has symptoms similar to those if he's not had his medication for a while.

I have the same thing, and don't worry its not a brain tumor like what someone said. I had a ct scan cause i thought that had one, the results came back completely normal. I was also tested for a lot of other things and everything was ok. I found out from my doctor that i have a mild form of the flu. I started to feel sick like this the day after i had my first flu shot. I first started to get really bad headaches that felt like a migraine, then a day later i just felt like crap. I wanted to stay laying down because i when i got up i felt really dizzy and lightheaded and the left side of my body felt weak. i was like that for about a week. I'm kinda sick right now, i still have bad headaches and feel tired. My eyesight is kinda blurry too, probably from the headaches though. Have you tried taking any medicine for the head pain? I found that taking 2 acetaminophen really helps for the headaches. Hope you feel better soon :)

It would be worthwhile to see your doctor and have your blood sugar levels checked. If you aren't eating regulary you could also make more of an effort to eat small meals several times a day to stablize things. It could be many things, see your doctor.

Tell you parents and see your doctor. It may be something very simple but you need a doctor to tell you.
