Open Question: Could my doctor be wrong?
I’ve had some neck and back pain for months, and it has been getting worse. I saw my doctor for it, and she did blood tests (cholesterol, thyroid, anemia) which all came back normal, and she ordered cervical x-ray, which also came back normal. I went back to the doctor this week (a different one, my doc wasn’t in that day) because of continued pain, but also faintness, weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath and just generally feeling funny in my chest. I was primarily concerned about heart issues or on a lesser scale panic attacks. She blew off both and because I had a low fever (99.5) said she thinks it’s viral or possibly Lyme Disease, which she ran test for. I woke up feeling a bit better this morning, but now am feeling weaker again, shaky, a little tight in the chest, and no appetite.
I’m just wondering if I should have really pushed for heart tests, or if this is just an infection of some kind? Any thoughts?
The doctor did start me on an antibiotic in case it is Lyme’s.
Just checked my son’s temperature, and he too has a temp of 99.6 now, but not showing any other symptoms.
