What Causes Redness Under The Skin,atrial Fibrillation, Bell S Palsy With History Of MRSA?
My Nephew has been in the hospital for 3 days and they have not found what is causing these symptoms. He now has A-fib, a redness under the skin which is burning like a bad sunburn, bells palsies, low energy. He recently had MRSA. They thought diabetes, stroke, lyme disease, but then ruled them out. He is home now and miserable.

Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that his symptoms seem to be related to a chronic infection.
An autoimmune reaction could also be the cause of his symptoms.
I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study to exclude a polyneuropathy and some tests for inflammation (PCR, sedimentation rate, fibrinogen levels).
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
