I Have Had Odd Chest Pains That Restrict My Breathing,

default
Posted on Sun, 28 Apr 2019
Question: I have had odd chest pains that restrict my breathing, new thin purple and blue veins coming up in my arms, hands, and feet, penis, and scrotum. When this all began, i felt weak in the gym, my muscles felt weak while lifting, over a long period of time maybe 5 months i would wake up at night and my body would ache all over mostly in my arms and legs for a few seconds, sore bones it felt like, very noticeable and then it would stop hurting after a few seconds. this would also happen at random times throughout the day, again only for a few seconds at most. I would wake up at night due to the shortness of breath, terrible chest pain, my hands and feet would sweat and my body seemed to not have good blood flow throughout, this happened for about two weeks. I would wake up with very high blood pressure at times, very sweaty cold shivering and confused. This is when all of the new thin purple/blue veins showed up, and my vision become much more blurry, ive had great vision all my life. the veins are not filled with blood, not bulging out, just thin lines and very visible, not spider veins either. I would cough and feel pins and needles throughout my neck arms and legs, sometimes id feel the pins and needles when I would get up from laying down, other times they would shock my entire body when i was just sitting there, felt so intense just like i was being shocked. also, for about six months or so i would feel this zap of electricity in my head, it would only last for a second though, and one day the brain zapping stopped thankfully. dunno what made it stop, i felt it was from taking lsd because after that is when i started noticing it happening. Heart palpitations would randomly happen and i would feel pins and needles on my neck, but only for a second, the underside. also, my erections hurt now, they are also curved, but not bent, they angle up and to the left. This all started to happen around the same time. The chest pain I feel now, it feels like it is inside of the center of my body sort of, it doesnt feel like its my heart but whatever it is triggers the shortness of breath. I have seen a cardiologist, they said my heart is fine, i have had a ct scan of my brain and my heart as well as an ultrasound of my heart. I have hsv1 and 2, not sure if this would have anything to do with it. although i have read about some weird neurological effects happening because of it. what concerns me is no one can tell me what is wrong, i keep getting the runaround. I recently did blood work for autoimmune diseases, the doc said theyd call me back if anything came up, no phone call. could this be a tumor somewhere restricting blood flow throughout my body? also, i feel at times i lost total feeling of my legs and arms, not as much as i was but this was going on for several months and i thought it was anxiety but they feel like air, like nothing is there and i lose muscle function but very lightly. these are all scattered symptoms, im going through what i can recall happening within the past few months. Any help will be greatly appreciated, i just feel so helpless considering ive seen so many doctors and no one can give me an answer, nothing.

First consult neurologist.

In my opinion, you should first consult neurologist to rule out any brain pathology.
If this is normal then better to consult psychiatrist.
