TSS is very rare, and requires medical diagnosis and treatment. Your symptoms could also be from flu, strep-throat, or a myriad of other illnesses. All can likely be helped by a doctor. Your lightheadedness could be from dehydration caused by the diarrhea. A doctor can give you something to help all of that. And if it turns out to be something minor, you will have that relief of having found out. In the meantime, get some rest, drink a lot of healthy fluids, and so on, as though you were treating the flu. That should help you to avoid making yourself worse.
