Can lack of sleep cause some cold/flu like symptoms?
I was in the emergency room until 3am two days ago for my mom and I have been under alot of stress for the past 3 months due to her illness. The day after taking her to the hospital I felt achy all over and a sort of dry cough, I felt like that again this morning but took ibuprofen and feel a heck of alot better. Could the lack of sleep along with heavy stress have caused some tiny virus????

Yes - you get run down and you will catch a cold or flu virus much more easily- get your rest!!!

Certainly, along with about a hundred other things. If the condition continues after a good sleep, consider seeking medical intervention.

Lack of sleep and deep stress affect your immune system. So you can expect to have eg. infections more often than people without your problem.
