Feeling Lightheaded, Chest Pain, Dizziness With White Coating On Tongue. Cause And Cure?

Let me approach your HIV problem first given that I deal every day with HIV infected/AIDS patients. From the image you are apparently having tongue ulcers ( how long have they been there?) This is usually more likely due a viral infection. Other viruses such as herpes, CMP, EBV etc could be responsible order than HIV. First of all your symptoms and all your presentation are not specific to HIV alone but other autoimmune diseases such as SLE, sarcoidosis, vitamin deficiency etc could also present with similar symptoms. Initial HIV infection usually presents with persistent generalized lymphadenopathy and intermittent mild fever.
For you a viral infection is likely the cause, but do not jump into conclusion that it is HIV. First doing HIV test now, if negative then your symptoms are 100% not likely related to HIV. Even if after 90 days you repeat test ( what ever the result) it would not still be related to HIV. For you to manifest with typical HIV symptoms you need to have been infected for the longest period of time (for several months to several years).
You should visit an internist for complete blood tests ranging from viral serologies, to tumor markers, blood cell counts etc.
You can use mouth wash solutions for daily cleaning of your mouth. Antiviral agents like acyclovir could be used if HIV is ruled out now. Multivitamin supplements should be included in your treatment.
You need to quit worrying about HIV as I do not think your symptoms are HIV related.
Hope this and let me know if you need further information
