Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/61 - flu like symptoms 2 weeks -headache, general malaise- weird thick feeling in mouth - feeling unwell like the diaphragm area is constricted - uncomfortable after eating - constant dull pressure in upper abdomen - bowel normal
With this history of 15 days, one needs to be seen by a Doctor for clinical evaluation, physical examination, investigations if required and an appropriate treatment.
It may be possibly flu with gastritis or lower lung problems.
May be you need a cardiac check-up as the symptoms are in this area only although atypical but are know to present like this in a small number of patient.
All the symptoms may not be evident in all the patients and hence the importance of signs - the things the Doctor looks for.
I think 15 days is a long time to be unfit.
I hope this answer helps you to get a decision.
Please feel free to ask further relevant queries if you need to or if you feel there is a gap of communication.
