Dizziness, Headaches, Vertigo, Post Flight. On Medication For Sinus Infection. ECG Normal. Red Itchy Spots Due To Chicken Pox Or Shingles?

Thanks for the query.
You have provided me with good information.
Based on your history, the symptoms reported by you (headache, tingling sensation, tiredness, body ache with sinus infection and red itchy spots over your abdomen) can be caused by shingles. Since there is history of prior chickenpox infection, I would have to agree with your doctor, that this might be due to its reactivation – shingles.
Early symptoms of shingles include headache, sensitivity to light, and flu-like symptoms without a fever. You may then feel itching, tingling, or pain where a band, strip, or small area of rash may appear several days or weeks later. A rash can appear anywhere on the body; but is usually located on one side of the body - the left or right. The rash form blisters gradually, scab over and finally clear up over a few weeks.
This band of pain and rash is the clearest sign of shingles.
A detailed physical examination by a competent Dermatologist will confirm the condition. I encourage you to consult one for a second opinion, if you have any doubts regarding the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.
