Go immediately to a hospital emergency room. However, this is an extremely rare disease so you are very unlikely to have it.
H5N1 is the name of the virus that causes Avian "Bird" Flu. It is very rare among humans and transmission from human to human is still an almost non-existent occurrence and then in very few locations of the world. In some developing countries, where it is common to have free roaming poultry that even are allowed to roost and live inside homes, the disease is occurring in humans, but it is still very rare. There has never been a case of Avian Flu in the US either in animals or in birds, and the UK has been declared free of this virus after a onetime outbreak among birds in the past.
The viral disease is very aggressive and rapidly debilitates anyone who has become infected. They would need immediate medical care. Even with the most prompt and advanced care, however, approximately 60% of humans who have had the disease have died.

What is the origin of the name swine lu?
Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.
