Problem:
I have been going through various symptoms of for months. Started with
cold, gradually got alot worse to the point of light headedness with
sharp chest pains either side of my left breast. also sometimes
tenderness all along bottom of rib cage, and intense gurgling down
left side of chest wall, like air passing through but very loud! no
curshing feelings on chest. no arm pain at this point. no out of
breathe. gradually got better. light headedness no longer present, but
occassional chest pain still there. also now, i seem to have developed
a lump feeling at base of throat, occasional quick moderate shooting
pain along underside of forearm, moderately tense/tight feeling across
top of shoulders and very top of chest, slight tenderness to right
jugular area of neck, occasional pain between shoulder blades slightly
left of centre and to a lesser degree at the front of chest.
throughout this i have also had a tender spleen (not 100% it is spleen
but it is in upper left quandrant of abdomen).

had echocardiogram - clear
ecg's - 95% clear, tho one did show abnormal Tbar
blood pressure avg 140/90
high ALT enzymes - 150
moderate gamma gt - 50.1 (doc not worried by this - said up to 50 is
limit)
high iron levels
other blood profile attributes normal.

has anyone got any ideas what this could be?
