I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck, sore throat, headaches, body aches, fatigue. I have had this since sunday. Last night, I started having chest pain on my left side up through my left arm. I have pins and needles in my arm and both legs, the left being more intense.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Sore throat with such constitutional symptom can occur by viral infection....
Here mostly it will be viral posterior wall pharyngitis or bronchitis....

Take levoflixacin like antibiotic for 5 days....
More water....
Salt water gargle done....
Vitamin c rich food like orange taken...
Fruits more....
Avoid excess spicy and fried food...
Take benadryl to relieve inflammation...

If still no benefit then investigate with .....
-chest x ray for rule out respi cause
-ECG or echo for viral carditis

If still cause not clear and lymphedenopathy persist then rule out infectious mononucleosis by PS examination and estimation of liver enzymes with liver palpation for hepatomegaly....
If needed serological test available for it like detection of viral cspdid antigen for it by card or ELISA.....

If still lymphedenopathy persist then FNAC done....

Hope these will help you...

Discuss these with your treating doctor....

Take care.
