For The Past 2 Weeks Or So My Toe Would

For the past 2 weeks or so my toe would begin to hurt especially when I placed weight on it. It would come on suddenly for an hour or a day and subside for a few days. Then it hurt for a few days straight and started to spread from my toe to other part of that same foot.
At this point I went to the doctor who took a blood test testing for gout and an xray. He also told me it may be caused by wine, red meat and cheese. I told him I haven't really had any excessive amounts of these. I may have drunk more wine then usual but it was like 2 bottles in 1 week so nothing extra ordinary, just maybe more then I'm used to.
Now both my feet swelled up and during a heated debate I felt very hot and started to get the spins.
I'm a 22 year male, generally healthy. My job keeps me on my feet all day and I do have to jump and climb at times so it may be taxing.
Any advice?
