Today I had started having flu symptoms, as well as an extremely swollen gland in the neck. The swollen gland started 24 hours ago, and the flu symptoms started 4 hours ago and have gotten extremely worse since then.
About 5 minutes ago, I had some small pains in my heart and my hands went numb. Overall it was similar to a panic attack but only lasted for about a minute. Im only 17 years of age and generally healthy, can anyone explain to me what steps should be taken?

Hi:
I'm sure you know that all types of flu viruses are in the air, although we only hear about the swine flu. Viruses are funny, they thrive in your body. For this reason alone, you need to get to an emergency room or MD TODAY. Whatever you have is moving quickly. The other episode you had may be related to the other problem. In either case, you can't lie around with this problem. The other reason to get treated is that you could infect other people around you. The elderly and the very young are especially vulnerable. Protect yourself and your family. Be sure to tell the medical professionals where you were, what you did and what you ate just before you got sick. Those will be important questions. Please don't risk your health and the health of others by not getting medical attention. Just watch the news.....Let me know how things go for you.
