Fever because about to start period ?

So today I am suppose to start my period but yesterday I started feeling so sick like fever , chills , nausea, dizzy , ears ringing , throat sore and a terrible back ache. I read online that this could possibly be related to my period? Has anyone experienced that before? I don’t want to go to the doctor and that be it I would be so embarrassed. I am in so much pain though I literally can not walk around without almost falling over. Any comments will help . Thanks
