What Causes Itchy Red Blisters On Back Of Right Calf And Fluttering Sensation In Heart?
last weekend, spent several hours in the Hawaii sun weeding in my mom s yard. I m 62 years old , had what I thought were infected insect bites (possibly cat fleas) from weeding last week. On the 3rd day , clusters of reddish blisters began to appear with intense itching (no burning pain)on the back of my right calf and a little on the rear of my left calf. No fever or pain experienced. Occasionally, I d feel like a minor heart fluttering sensation. Thursday, went to my PCP whom diagnosed condition as Shingles. My BP was 153/103. What do I you think I may have ?
