Concerning symptoms
My friend has been experiencing high fevers, fluctuating temperature (both too low and too high), headaches, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, and fainting for approximately a week.
She has a medical history of autoimmune disorders (two of them) and anemia.
Additionally, she has a history of migraines and a condition called vasovagal syncope, which causes fainting in response to emotions.
Immediate medical assistance is currently unavailable, and we're seeking advice on what can be done to provide immediate relief.

One thing you can try if she seriously can't get to a doctor or an urgent-care clinic is to keep her electrolytes in balance. Pedialyte is one electrolyte fluid you can easily buy and have her drink a little at a time. But she really should be seen by a doctor.

We can do that..but what about her fever?
It's not going down from 38.2...Im worried it's serious but we can't go to a doctor...and she can't take pain meds like paracitamol due to a reaction of her other meds

You can attempt to lower the body temperature by placing her in cool water, or at least using cool compresses (cloths) on her face, but if the fever is due to an infection, as it often is, that is only a palliative measure, and the infection will continue to progress without antibiotics.
I had feeling of something pulling to right side and was going to fall I held on to wall not to fall and then I started vomiting could not stand it went on for about 7 hours had to go to hospital all kinds of testing came up with nothing spent the night in hospital went home with follow up with doctors I have no Idea what happened if someone had something like this please let me know.

When was this? It was a one off thing?
But if the whites of her eyes get yellow (from 'jaundice'), that's time for immediate medical care. Look up pictures of--> jaundice eyes
She most likely does NOT have that. But be very very sure, day by day, that she does not have that.

Well then, I would wonder what bad thing both of you have been exposed to. Maybe some toxin, in the air or in food, for example. Or a virus or other infection. Or some TikTok challenge??
Use logic to also think over the time frame. What were you each exposed to before your symptoms started, and also do the same for her. If either of you ever goes to a doctor, mention that both have odd mystery cases. They might very well be connected.
-----------------------------------------------
As far as a mild-to-moderate fever: a fever is the body's natural way to help fight infection. A fever is not always some bad thing to be suppressed. But on the other hand, the immune system can produce a fever when no infection is present, when the immune system goes crazy.
--------------------------------------------
Or post what her meds are, and we can check if they can sometimes directly cause a fever in some people.
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr... if she is taking powerful immune suppression drugs because of her auto-immune, then we strongly should consider that her suppressed immunity has led to having an infection. Then we worry. That can be dangerous, especially if the fever gets higher.
In the USA, most people can order a CBC test without a doctor's order. It's only around $30. But I'd guess you do not have ability to do that in Japan. Then what about a walkin clinic to get a CBC test?

Hi, are you talking about Mitsuko?
https://www.medhelp.org/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Concerning-chest-and-head-aches/show/3076978
There is a big difference between syncope with chest pain, as she described -- and syncope without the chest pain, as you describe now.
The 1st is likely coronary vasospasm, the 2nd is more likely vasovagal.
If she saw a doctor today, they would order a CBC test which would likely be normal (no infection), and then the doc would probably say "it's some immune system mystery". That's because of her history.
If she was okay and now got worse again, then think about anything that might have triggered it recently. Stress?
