Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
I went through your post.
You have asked the following questions-

1. like to know if Microfilariae parasite can be completely eliminated from the blood

2. does this also cause chest pain

3. Could all this because of Microfilarae

And the answers for these questions -

1. Yes, Microfilariae parasite can be completely eliminated from the blood.

2. No, it does not cause chest pain

3. No, all these symptoms are not due to Microfilariae.

The chest pain and feeling something in the throat could be due to gastroesophageal reflux. You can take Prilosec for relief.

Tingling in the fingers and burning sensation is due to nerve involvement. Consult a Neurologist for evaluation. Neurontin will provide relief.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Dr.R.K.
