Brokenspectre,
in the abscence of other symptoms, it is unlikely that your are suffering from any underlying medical illness. Although never say never, it is unlikely that you are suffering from vit c deficiency.
It sounds like the first aid measures you took were a sensible option.
A word of warning. Never EVER try and find out what is wrong by searching the internet. If you look hard enough you will find something wrong ! Its almost as dangerous as posting a question on the PPRUNE medical forum.
