I've been feeling some pain in my throat when I swallow, and it's really uncomfortable. Plus, every time I move, I get this chest pain, and both of my arms are just aching so badly. What could be going on here? Is it something I should be worried about?

These symptoms could be indicative of a viral infection or inflammation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest and arm pain. For the throat pain, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (Cepacol) to numb the throat. Additionally, you can use throat sprays like chloraseptic for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing this weird issue where I sometimes feel short of breath, especially at night when I'm lying down. It doesn't happen often, but it's definitely a bit concerning when it does. I don't have any other symptoms going on. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been noticing these splinter hemorrhages under my fingernails again, and it's making me worried. I had endocarditis when I was 16 and needed antibiotics through a pic line and heart surgery for mitral valve repair when I turned 18. I'm 23 now and these hemorrhages keep showing up just like before. I'm really concerned it could be related to my past condition. What do you think I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing recurrent splinter hemorrhages, which can be a concerning sign given your history of endocarditis and heart surgery. To address this issue, I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to evaluate the possibility of endocarditis recurrence or any other underlying causes. In the meantime, you can consider taking antibiotics such as Amoxicillin 500mg twice daily for a week to prevent any potential infection from worsening. Additionally, maintaining good nail hygiene and avoiding trauma to the nails can help prevent further splinter hemorrhages.
