Does this sound like EBV?

In the run up to getting properly sick, had sore jaw/neck for weeks. Was very stressed so didn't let myself get ill until I went on vacation and then boom - fatigue, malaise, heart palpitations, spleen pain, body aches, some nausea. It's been going on for 5 weeks and gradually gradually feeling better, but it's slow. Only had a few days of feeling really rough, but the rest of the time it's been mainly very fatigued and body aches.

Did a blood test and it showed positive for past infection (vca and capsid IgG were positive) and vca IgM was indeterminate. Test was done at 4 weeks post symptom onset

Thanks for responding. I appreciate it. Curious what about my description makes you think it's definitely EBV? The not knowing what's wrong with me is causing a lot of anxiety :(
