Patient 23 years old. After having second child via c section has been complaining about pain on her legs, pulsating over the whole body, shortness of breath (throat), heart beating fast, high BP, she went to the hospital numerous times but the doctors never found any correlation between all these and always asked if she had social underlying issues because they suspected it might be stress manifesting into physical symptoms. Therefore patient booked to see a psychologist but has only been to one session. One other time she had a feeling of air trapped in her chest and i got pills for that. Patient is on folic tabs and ferrous for three month cause i had lost a lot of blood during the C-Section. From what the patient says the symptoms come and go. Mostly recently her main concern is that she feels a bit of pulsating feeling over her body and her feet get very hot at night and sometimes during the day. Her palms are also red. What could be the issue??
