Summary
🦠 Initial Symptoms (about 4 weeks ago):
• Sudden fatigue, sleeping almost 24 hours
• Nausea, loss of appetite, flu-like symptoms
• Muscle pain, body aches
• Parainfectious state with pressure sensations, internal restlessness, indescribable “strange feelings in the body”
😷 Subsequent Course:
• Inflammation in the left ear (treated)
• Followed by a tooth infection (left molar) → drainage, pain, minimal food intake
• After improvement, a return of “flu-like” symptoms and physical weakness, fever 38 °C
💊 Treatment:
• Erdomed, Ventolin
• Long-term use of ibuprofen during illness and for dental pain
🩺 Laboratory Findings:
• CRP within normal range
• Electrolyte imbalance (specific values not provided)
• Elevated magnesium
🚨 Current Symptoms:
• Persistent pain and pressure in the chest area, probably especially on the left side
• Whole-body pain
• Prolonged fatigue, often sleeping all afternoon
• Today: Sharp, sudden one-time pain radiating from the chest to the legs, ending in a shock-like feeling, after that, sleeping all afternoon
• Sensitivity to touch: discomfort from clothing rubbing against the skin and from normal contact with objects
• Pulling sensation in fingertips, feeling the need to slow the body down, non-specific discomfort during normal movements
• Paradoxically, I can physically handle heavy exertion (7×100 push-ups, for example), but ordinary movements feel strange
• Relief when lying down – fewest symptoms in this position
• Ammonia-like smell in urine over the past two days
📍 Infection as a Trigger (AI summary)
• You clearly had an infection: fatigue, inflammation, fever, cough, shortness of breath, inflammation in the ear or tooth → the body was systemically weakened.
• These conditions (especially viral infections) can trigger:
• post-infectious inflammation of nerves or their sheaths
• an autoimmune response – the body starts attacking its own tissues (including nerve tissue)
• inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis) or the pericardium (pericarditis) → the same possibility mentioned doctor
🧠 Suspected Conditions (by AI):
• Post-infectious neurological involvement (e.g. sensory neuropathy, dysautonomia)
• Post-infectious myocarditis / pericarditis
• Electrolyte imbalance with possible metabolic complication (including kidney involvement)
