Breathlessness, Pain In Left Hand And High Palpitation. Took Coraline. Now Pain Spread To Leg, Neck, Ribs. Correct Guidance?
Question: Hi,I need a proper guidance as I have been to doctors but all in vain ,I had some 3-4attacks (episodes of pain,sweating ,breathlessness , heaviness in my chest,acute pain in my left hand and head,also during this time my palpitation was so high that I could hear it and if anyone keeps his/her hand the one could feel the heart beat running v fast). For which once in emergency the doctor who came in as I couldn't even move because of all I have mentioned above,he said that I am having an angina pain so he put me on some Tablet called "coraline" (i suppose that was the name,dont remember to correctly though,but it costed heavy like Rs.600/- so for one week course) and he told me to have it for 6weeks atleast. Now,for last say 7-8 days I started having some very very acute pain on my left foot (where it all started from) and the in a day it also started in my right foot,by this time my left was already swollen little bit and I was limping ,then after I kind of staying alone ignored it ..my left hand ALSO started Hurting real bad with an acute pain shooting all over sometimes towards my neck ,my ribs ,my collar bone,then for last two day especially in the evenings my left hand has started swelling up,last night it was so badly swollen up that it got stiff and I couldn't really move or bend my fingers ,now also while I am typing to you I am having a shooting pain which comes and goes in every 5-10min or so in my left side. I really want to know whats going on,as I dont really have anyone with me and I stay alone,i would like to seek a correct guidance please help.

Hello Ms. XXXXXXX
Thank you for your response.
I understand that you have Hypertension, Diabetes and Dyslipidemia. I need you to scan and upload the ECG (Electrocardiogram) which was abnormal. I will also wait for the values of the blood tests.
While a cardiac cause for the chest pain has to be considered, there could be other reasons also. The leg pain and swelling are likely to be due to other causes.
Your blood sugar needs much better control. A fasting sugar value of <140 mg/dl and a post-meal value of <180mg/dl are the initial targets.
Can you also tell me a few more details about the swelling? Is it a joint swelling or is the entire hand/foot swollen? How long does it persist? Is it on one side or both sides? Is there any redness of eyes, skin rash or burning sensation when you pass urine? Again, is it possible to upload a photo of the swelling?
You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.
