I've been having this pain in the ribs on the lower side of my chest for the past couple of days, plus my neck and shoulders are aching. There's no trouble when I breathe, and I'm not overweight. I make sure to exercise and walk every day. What do you think might be going on?

I'm having a sore throat that's gotten a lot better over the last couple of days and some discomfort in my chest. I've also been coughing a bit, mostly like I'm trying to clear my throat. I got back from Delhi about 12 days ago and I do have anxiety and GERD. I'm a smoker but I've cut down a lot recently. I haven't had any fever or cold symptoms though. Could this still be corona?

Why is my body warm but my feet are cold?
Cold feet can be due to various reasons such as decreased blood circulation to the extremities due to atherosclerosis that is cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, nerve damage - nerves that detect temperature are not working, lean body - persons who have less body fat need to conserve more heat which happens by feet becoming cold to keep internal organs warm, normal response to cold climate.
