What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest Along With Swelling In Ankles?
I have hep c and herpes type two and fibromyalgia and acid reflux and high blood pressure and seasonal allergies. I also have teeth that are breaking off at gum line. My lower left lung has been hurting with breath after getting upset or walking fastbhas sharp pain. Ribs sore and contracting. Ankles swollen. Sores all over body guess herpes but never had out break randomly every area of body but only few sores per area. Headaches. Told eye doctor double vision and sharp pain and jumpy vision. Checked with dye and saw straight line over cornea but not sure what to make it. Wondering if have pneumonia or shingles or both.
With the multiple problems you are suffering this looks to be psycho-somatic problem, meaning stress, anxiety has added on your symptoms like that of fibromyalgia, allergy. The chest pain be due to costochondritis. Yet it is important to rule out cardiac and lung and pleura related problems by EKG, X-ray chest and ultrasound of abdomen. All these things will give a proper clinical diagnosis and a plan for management of all the problems together. Multi-specialty approach is the best one.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
