2 months ago, I experienced flu-like symptoms. Around this time, I started developing chest (tightness which causes shortness of breath) and back pain (stabbing, aching) that is not muscular. The chest pain location varies from my upper and lower portion of both sides of my chest. Sometimes it is right over my heart. Sometimes the pain appears to originate around my sternum. I have been experiencing these symptoms for over 2 months and they have gotten progressively worse within and across days. I do not have Lyme’s disease, gallbladder disease, acid reflux, or abnormal CBC (except low vitamin D) levels. Recently I have developed a transient slightly tingly sensation in my right fingers following tightness around my armpit (auxiliary?) area which triggers my fingers to turn cold. I also have irritable bowel syndrome. What could all this mean? PLEASE HELP!!
