Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your situation seems to be really complex. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes underlying your complaints:
- a chest X ray study
- a cervical spine and lumbar spine X ray study for possible degeneration of the cervical column.
- complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- cardiac enzymes
- vitamin D levels to exclude possible vitamin D deficiency.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
