Go back to your doctor. Request a throat culture on the white spot on your tonsil to rule out Strept throat, then request a chest xray. You have pain in your chest and upper abdomen, get winded when walking and can’t eat which all sound to me like a pneumonia or something similar.
Good luck.

STRESS can cause any number of symptoms, &/or, magnify those already present, though perhaps unoticed beforehand . . .
From your other Questions I gather that you *are* presently under a lot of stress:
“You Can Manage Stress!” :
– “The Silent Killer”
– The “Slow Poison”
– Good vs Bad Stress
– It Can Be Managed!
– PTSD—A Normal Reaction to an Abnormal Experience http://watchtower.org/e/19980322/article…

Have you considered:
– getting a restraining order on your husband?
– calling your soon-to-be x’s aunt to see whether she is aware that he transferred the title to your car from your name to hers?
– getting some legal council, even if from a legal-divorce clinic?
I once knew a young family for a short while, who had moved to my neighborhood in the hopes that they would be able to jump-start their marriage, & start fresh. But, apparently the problems they’d been having weren’t entirely left behind . . . She worked nights at a bank, & one night he was seen from the upstairs windows, slashing the tires to her only transportation. I don’t mean to frighten you, but this kind of behavior can escalate . . . This is why I mentioned the possibility of getting a restraining order.

Hi Pumkin Pie,
You are doing all the right things. Please reconsider NOT seeing other doctors. When you have a regular doctor he knows you, your blood and biochemistry, your medical history etc so it is usually best to stick with him/her.
When tests come back negative it does not mean you are lying to the doctor. It means that what you and the doctor suspected is not the problem. So it is time to do more research/tests (for the doctor) and it is time to do more soul searching for the patient. Are there signs and symptoms which you may not have noticed or may not have mentioned to the doctor? Are there signs and symptoms which you may have missed?
You are an obviously healthy person. Is there a possibility that there are psychological stressors which are causing “medical symptoms.”
Changing job, new relationships, new environments (house) moving house etc can sometimes cause these type of symptoms.
Good luck. Sorry this is the extent of my knowledge.
