What Causes Ear Pain, Headache And Cough Along With Pressure In The Chest?

Question: I had the same symptoms for 2 months and don't know what to think of them ? I have flash pains that last 5-10 seconds throughout my body. I have throat tightness that comes up at night that doesn't last long. I have two ears that crackle when I swallow with ear pain. I get headaches. I have a cough that comes and goes, but I have clear lungs, and clear nose but I have to blow my nose a little throughout the day. Sometimes I get chest tightness.
I'm trying Flonase but it doesn't help all my symptoms. The flash aches throughout my body are particularly disconcerting.

Dr. No I don't have diabetes, or hypertension, and I do not smoke. I do not have a headache everytime I get these flash pains. My ENT doctor thought I might have silent reflux so I stopped caffeine-which may lead to the headaches..on the third week now. But right now I have a random pain inside my left thigh, then I will get pain aches in my forearms then they go away.. I'm concerned these symptom come and go, but have stayed around for two months. I don't have diarhiaa (sp), I don't have fever, I don't have vomiting. I was thinking of lyme disease but that doesn't fit.why would it last for so long, and why do the symptoms come and go, come and go.no swollen lymph glands.No std's, no hiv, I have had herpes for 25 years. I would really like an allergist immunologist, and/or infectious disease person to weigh in, since it doesn't seem to go away by itself. The pain on the side of the throat which comes and goes bugs me.no stds no hiv, ive had herpes for 25 years. I would really like an allergist, immunologist or infectious disease person to weigh in on this since it wont go away. The flashing pain in my throat and the chest tightness bugs me.

No Dr. I do not have any skin scars from herpes, and use zorivax/acyclovir when I feel an outbreak coming. I haven't had actual sores in probably over 10 years. I just get tingling.

I have no rash that would show I have shingles.

I've had 8 weeks of extreme stress that I am just getting over, worrying about these different symptoms. How long will it take my immune system to fully recover ?

Ive also lost 20 pounds in the meantime.Is there a way you can consult an immunologist or infectious disease specialist ?

Per my original request ?
Each of these symptoms comes with a timer. The cough and chest tightness comes in the late morning, the intermittent throat tightness comes at the end of the day. The muscle pains, forearms, and inside left thigh throughout the day.Since I reduced the underlying stress, and the symptoms remain, was it the stress that was causing the symptoms to begin with ?

The pain in my leg and arms is not painful, and comes without a rash, its just mysterious. Does shingles not present with a rash ? Also the slight pain in my throat that comes and goes is mysterious, and lingers, eventhough I have eliminated my causes of stress.

Does it take a while after the stress is gone for the symptoms to dissipate ? Since I had acute stress with panic attacks, claustrophopia, and chest tightening, and headaches.

For example, nothing lasts it comes and goes, what is the cause of this irregularity ?

Yes, this is true, and is the first time someone said that to me :-). It explains 90% of my problems. Thank You !!!

Now, if I had a little bronchitis, what is the remedy ? Can I just wait it out ?

Also, do you have a remedy for the ear crackling every time I swallow. Do I have to wait that out (going on for two months), or are there ways to alleviate. Will Flonase help ? It's not bacterial..

Thank You !!

Yes Dr. I'm seeing a psychologist.

No one explained the difference between organic and non-organic disease.

I haven't been sick in 30 years so I did not want to ignore symptoms.

what do you think would be better for me. hydroxyzine or citalopram. Should I take them right before bed ?I also could be having a "let-down" after high stress for 8 weeks..
