What Causes Chest Pain, Excessive Sweating And Intermittent Low Grade Fever?

My husband was diagnosed with L5 S1 but recently experienced persistent severe pain in his hip, thigh, calf and foot. What concerns me most is that he runs an intermittent low grade fever, feels clammy and sweaty, and has been complaining about pain in his side. He woke up last night perspiring profusely saying his chest hurt. I ve never heard of these symptoms with the type of lower back issue he has.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out pneumonia in his case.
Pneumonia can cause fever, chills, perspiration and chest pain. Pneumonia can also cause systemic symptoms like weakness, lower limb pain, Tiredness etc.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and chest x ray.
He may need antibiotics and other supportive drugs. Tell him to drink plenty of fluids orally.
Don't worry he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
