Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain, Swelling A Pain Near Jaw
Question: I've been having chest pain for about 3 months and the doctors believe it may be costochondritous in the past few days I've noticed swelling around my chest area where the pain is and my right glad under my jaw is swollen I've also noticed swelling in my neck around the gland area. Can all these symptoms be linked? Should I be worried? Also over the past 2 evenings I've had spells of feeling dizzy and disconnected feeling confused there were spots in my vision as well as a rainbow that floated around the left eye with the confusion.
Brief Answer:
Not related to costochondritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swellings of the glands, near the neck and feeling dizzy is not likely to be related to costochondritis. This is more likely to be due to a generalized viral infection. You need to consult your physician for a detailed examination.
I would advise that you support your body with good hydration, adequate sleep, a well-balanced diet and a moderate exercise regimen. Exercise is actually good for the immune system which is why I suggest it here. In addition you can supplement your diet with some Vitamin C - 1000 mg daily and consider drinking some immune boost type of tea such as Echinacea which is readily available at most supermarkets.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
