It could be chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by a profound fatigue lasting for over 6 months. It is often accompanied by loss of memory or concentration, sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or underarms, unexplained muscle pain, or pain that moves from one joint to another without swelling or redness.

Our CFS patients show these patterns and most have chronic Epstein-Barr virus amongst other viruses. They all have some level of leaky gut. Several have elevated heavy metals in tissue storage. Thousands of patients later - I start with correcting leaky gut, eliminating inflammatory foods, rebuilding the immune system, reducing viral loads and repairing mucosal membrane damage.

Chest pain, especially after bending over, lying down or eating. ... A feeling of food “sticking” in the middle of the chest or throat"

There are easy to swallow liquid RX homeopathic formulas for stomach ulcers, reflux, pain, tissue erosion and generalized inflammation.
10. What causes high blood pressure? Hypertension has underlying causes and is not simply a genetic trait. Finding the cause of the problem can allow for other routes of therapy, avoidance of risk factors and possible development of other diseases. It is common that a patient may develop type 2 diabetes due to underlying insulin resistance that anti hypertensives do not address. When a patient is diagnosed with hypertension, history-taking should cover risks, signs, and symptoms for all identifiable causes. Cardiovascular risk factors also must be assessed in depth. Factors such as sleep apnea, obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation should all be considered.
It becomes a two-pronged treatment to stabilize blood pressure by recommending nutraceuticals to support balanced blood pressure using several treatment modalities to address the underlying issues like: eradicating viral loads with anti-virals, foundational gut repair, chelation for heavy metals and correcting lipid profiles.
