Hi doctor,

I am a 21-year-old male with a weight of 50 kilograms and a height of five feet five inches. I have extreme fatigue for few days. I have unbearable pressure in my head, behind my eyes and ears. I have neck stiffness lasting for 40 minutes. I am unable to move my head in any direction at this condition. I have an adverse reaction after taking food. Pressure gets build in my chest and left side of the neck. I am unable to move my left arm for an hour. After that, I have difficulty in breathing and my lungs seem to be heavy. I get shivers and shaking. Even doing slight exercise causes shortness of breath and chest pain for hours.

I have gastrointestinal issues with extreme gas. I get headaches occasionally. Sometimes, I have unbearable pain. Sometimes, I get headaches with confusion. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I am unable to do my work in an intended order while getting a headache. Sometimes, I have a headache that seems to torch my head and it lasts for hours. This headache causes radiating pain from the back of the neck to the middle of my head. Sometimes, I have coldness and tingling in my hands and feet. I get blurry vision along with it.

I get occasional muscle spasms. I have an occasional loss of ability to walk properly. Sometimes, I have numbness in my whole body. I have extreme anxiety and depression. I have constant headaches, ear pain, and occasional chest pain. Sometimes I have joint pain in my legs. I wake up unwell every day. I really want to know what is happening with my body. Currently, I am taking Fourts B capsules and Panadiene. I have done some tests like liver function tests with CBC and auto-antibodies.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your query and test reports. Regarding your complaints, you can have any metabolic disorder. Check your vitamin D levels. You have phosphorous levels in borderline. You need to do a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to rule out the cause for MS (multiple sclerosis). Regarding gastrointestinal symptoms, you seem to have acid reflux or irritable bowel syndrome. Avoid taking spicy foods and large meals. Try to eat often in small portions. Taking an antacid can help you a lot. You seem to have a tension-type headache. It occurs due to wrong posture and psychological stress. Do some blood tests to rule out Lyme disease. It mimics your situation. Please mention whether you feel hopeless. Depression and anxiety can mimic your situation. If all the results are normal, then I suggest you consult a psychotherapist soon.
