I think I have chest infection, bringing up nasty yellow/green in mouth, cough weak joints too bit have that that abit, right knee hurts arms at top feel achy, spine hurts BUT my whole front middle and upper chest constantly feels like its burning

2 clear chest x Ray's nov and jan 2 lots of antibiotics n here I am now feel like I need antibiotics again and upper stomache by ribs feel like its burning, any ideas anyone have thoughts, had this feeling

Saw a phisio put all aches to fibromyalgia but said he cant diagnose until I see respiritory to rule it out, well I feel its respiritory related iv had few antibiotics past few months here I am now feeling like I need them again nasty taste in mouth and keep bringing phlegm up in mouth I did a spirometery that was okay my right lower leg is tingly just want all this to end.

Having a neurologist appt next month and seeing a respiritory consultant in general department not sure what that means, the one after xx

Thankyou for your time.

It might be a good idea to contact your GP tomorrow. It is possible you do need a course of antibiotics. Green phlegm is a sign of a bacterial infection.

Best to get it treated sooner rather than later.

Yes I'm going to call first thing, my back lower part of ribs also concerned as to why my spine hurts when turning head left/right. My concerns are that this could be lung cancer as I have had alot of antibiotics past few months, doc said sounded pleurisy around christmas and airways sounded very narrow that was around time I felt I had infection like now all the phlegm I'm bringing up, I'm concerned about thos burning pain is this nerve pain would anyone know, I dont really know what's going on my spirometry was around 85 % they were ok with I dont know what to expect at my first appointment as it is with a general respiritory consultant as far as I'm concerned he will see my past 2 chest x Ray's were ok as they were stated and that I keep getting this chest feeling, phlegm in throat, burning around ribs, muscular area. I dont think this is fibromyalgia it seems to have all symptoms regarding chest lungs. Thankyou for your reply, G

Also I can feel a hard lump left side of jawline.

Try not to worry yourself. The lump could be something as simple as an infected gland. I have no experience with lung cancer, but chances are it isn’t. Stay positive and ring your GP as soon as you can in the morning. The sooner you talk to him/her the sooner you’ll be able to put your mind at rest.

Just as a side note, when I have had bad chest infections in the past, I have had pain around my shoulder blades and ribs.

Just reread your original post. The burning in your stomach, could that be acid? Have you got any indigestion meds you could take to see if that takes it away?

Not what you're looking for?
