Hello, Perhaps you might be so kind to settle a bet. Here are the symptoms: 8 weeks ago, pins & needles sensations in left extremities. Fairly consistent throughout 5 days, although low grade. Most currently, difficulty breathing, constant; short shallow breaths after a minimum of phusical exertion (stairs); purple/violet color under fingernails at the cuticle area, not the front, pretty constant fever, hacking cough, quite difficutl to find a comfortable position for sleep. As close as possible to verticle is required. Your choices: A - some kind of pleuritic condition (although no pain when inhaling; none) B - a series of mini strokes 8 weeks ago making the distribution of oxygen difficult, or C - Thoracic Outlet syndrome, or, last, D - LPR syndrome. Many thanks!
