Hi,
About me:
I am 26 years old patientold. I work out regularly and generally very active. I have been generally in good condition up till now.

Family History:
My dad is diabetic

Medication:
Mefliquin pre Tanzania (2 pills remaining)

What I’m going through:
The last 4 days have been very difficult for me, here’s some background to what I’m going through.

2 months ago I started feeling a light electric like sensation in my hands and legs. The pain was random but bearable. I went to a GP and she suggested it’s nothing but might have to do with “lactic acid” and meat. I didn’t follow up since it wasn’t bothering me a lot.

On the other hand I have been feeling some pressure in the left side of my chest, especially when I sleep on my left side.

2 weeks ago I went to Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro. I felt fine before that except for the symptoms I stated above. During the hike as we started going up in altitude the pressure in the left side of my chest started to surface and was more apparent as I inhaled deeply. I even started feeling pressure/pain in my upper back. I expected that to be from the backpack I was carrying so I decreased the weight and used deep heat but that didn’t help. The pain was persistent throughout the climb.

When I got back from the trip I went to get my lungs checked, I took a CT scan and my lungs turned out to be fine. The doctor specifically said they were exceptional.

At that point I thought it was all in my head but 2 days later the pain grew. I now feel strong electric like pain in the left and right side of my chest, all over my upper back, and the left side of my lower back. I even feel a little lightheaded and my heart rate seems to be unstable.

Last night I was sleeping and 30min into my sleep I woke up with my heart pacing and I couldn’t focus my eye sight, I ran to the door and into the elevator to get some help at the reception. By the time I got there I was able to calm down and get my heart rate down.

I have my 2 year operational health checkup scheduled tomorrow by my company were I undergo general checks to see if I’m fit to work in remote locations, but I don’t think that test will help me find out what’s wrong with me.

I would really appreciate it if you let me know what could be wrong with me and what checks I need to undergo to get proper diagnoses.

Thank you!
Mousa
