What Causes Headache, Chest Tightness, Pressure Behind The Eyes And Chills?
Question: I've been having headaches, tightness in chest, pressure behind the eyes,feeling of fever andchills. I went to my doc 3days ago and he said there was no signs of infection. I have taken antihistamine and Advil but it just helps a little. I started to use golden seal, echinacea, and colidal silver and I feel better but it seems to get better but symptoms comes back. I finally was able to sleep but I must breath thru my mouth because I wake up with really dry mouth. Should I return to my doc?
Brief Answer:
NO. This is a side effect of anti histamines!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this dry mouth that you have reported. I have reviewed this information and this si a side effect of the antihistamines. As the drugs get finished, this will certainly resolve. For now, try drinking/sipping much water for the time being and this will soon get over by the time your infection is controlled.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask of more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank you for your answer. I still feel that there is more going on than just inflammation. I don't want to take antibiotics if I don't have to but the pressure and pain is so constant. Is there something else to do? Should I stop the herbs although it seems to helping or will it cause other problems? I know part of the problem is when I can't take a breath I panic a bit and tho' I see some progress I just don't see it fast enough.
Brief Answer:
Exercise patience!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Please, exercise some patience, else you would certainly tend to make us get aggressive and order aggressive measures that are totally not necessary. I really don't believe much in herb and rarely recommend them. I rather allow clients to make the decision because what information is needed for me to use it without worries is often lacking.
Please, with progress be positive and exercise patience. That is what matters most. I wish you well and keep me posted.
