What Causes Pain In Shoulders And Upper Torso With Night Sweats?

I ve been waking up at night with my pajamas drenched with sweat. I went to work today but I m now feeling achy on my shoulders and upper torso. I have been feeling anxious lately and now I am slightly depressed. I am not taking any medications. I ve also been very emotional for weeks now. What do you think of these symptoms. Should I go to my primary doctor for a blood test.

Hi,

Noted your history about night sweats, achy shoulders and upper torso, depression and anxiety, getting emotional over weeks now.
Most probable causes I can think about area as follows:
Viral infection can cause such symptoms.
Psychological imbalance.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor for clinical examination, counselling which may give a clinical diagnosis. This will help to know if the blood tests are needed or not.
Till then take a symptomatic treatment with Ibuprofen or so.
Take rest.
Change the lifestyle to ward off the psychological problem that you are nurturing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
