I saw such a conversation as follows.

A: Boy,do I ever feel lousy! I don't have any energy lately.
B: Have you been eating a lot of junk food?

I don't know why a native can use "do I ever feel lousy! " without a question mark. What exactly does it mean? Can you any more example like this?

Thanks

It's a construction we use a lot, for emphasis:

Boy, am I tired! (Means I am really tired)
Boy, is this grammar hard!
Boy, is this book good!

etc.
