What causes chest pain + rash on the back of he ankles + vein pain?hat would you like to ask?

• What causes chest pain + rash on the back of he ankles + vein pain? I experience those symptoms the past 2-3 weeks, however I am yet to see a doctor, because the symptoms seem to come and go and eventually will die down...I guess :). Some of the symptoms: - chest pain - pein in the veins of the arms and legs. - rash on the back of the ankles(venus status dermatitis?) - pale skin - often affected mood or aggression? :) - Often the pain "goes" from the heart to the lungs and to the stomach. The painful place often itches and it is red. I know read that this pretty much resembles shinkles??? I am 22 btw, don't drink or not having any previous diagnosis. I was thinking about heart failure or diabetes, but I don't seem to have any of the other symptoms(no persisten cough, no thirst, no often urination, no bone pain, no fatique, no blur vision...). The closest that I found is: Q fever...though I don't get it when I have been in farms or similar areas :). I might be also hypohodric, since recently I read alot about neurology and the brain...hence some medical paranoia obviously catches me. But yet, the chest pain sometimes is so obvious that I wake up in the middle of night - also - yes, when I lie on the bed - usually it's worse. Anyway, thanks!

• Answer:

  It actually could be a food allergy or intolerance. beleive it or not. This effects mood, increase heart rate. Look up angioedema which can swell the joints and make your stomach bloat. You are probably eating some weird Christmas spices or baking this time of year or japanese oranges which you should avoid. PS. Stay away from the Merk Manual. It almost turned me into a complete hypochondriac. I had panick attack for years, lol I finally just said to myself Oh well, so what if I die and all the panick attacks went away. I also avoided this health section for a year. The good knews is that I like you know all the diseases :)
