Hi, my friend is refussing to go to the hospital because he does not have insurance.  But he is having pain in his arms, hands and legs.  he also has pressure on the left area of his chest from time to time.  Could this be a heart attack?  I gave him medicine for his fever 101.8
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! I passed carefully through your question and would explain that his symptoms are not related to any heart attack. So, relax and don't worry about it! He seems to have an infection, probably a viral infection. This is causing chest pain and muscular pain in his limbs. But, if the fever persists, he may need to take antibiotics. Performing some lab tests is necessary to investigate for a possible infection: - a chest X-ray study-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation- kidney and liver function tests- a urinalysis. He may need to take antibiotics. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health,
