30 Year Old Having Pain And Itching On The Chest Near The Collar Bone. Reason? History Of Shingles. Suffered Atrial Fibrillation In The Past
Hi, I have been having dull pains and itching inside the right hand side of my chest-near the breast bone. The feeling is similar to having shingles which I had a few years ago, however there is no rash there. I am 30 and have suffered from SVT / atrial fibrillation in the past, other than that all healthy. Can you shine any light on the cause. Thanks, Susan

HI HAVING PAIN AND ITCHING NEAR THE COLLAR BONE CAN BE DUE TO POST SHINGLES NEURALGIA BUT I DO NOT THINK IT PERSISTS FOR YEARS.RULE OUT ACUTE GASTRITIS OR ANGINA DUE TO ATRIAL FIBRILLATION.GO FOR ECG,ENDOSCOPE,2D ECHO TO RULE OUT THESE CONDITIONS.POST SHINGLES NEURALGIAS CAN BE CURED BY NEUROKIND PLUS AND GABAPENTIN 400 MG THREE TO FOUR TIMES DAILY
