Why do I feel that It's HIV - Runny / Stuffy Nose / Ear Pain

[MrLund]

For last 3 days my symptoms are getting worse, it all started with ear pain, then stuffy nose, than runny nose, than headaches, then pain in the rib cage  on both side, then pain on the kidneys on the right hand side, and know the watery eyes, when I blow my nose.

Usually, I get better in 3 days or so, this is over 3 days. It seems like immune system is losing the battle...

I am just concern, how can I tell my family members, how do I tell them ?

No do not have chest pain. My chest x-ray is normal. The problem is lower rib cage on both side. On the left side before the stomach connect and the right hand side on the bottom before it connects to liver.... They both hurt , burn and sharp pain... comes and goes.


Normal chest is okay, chest x-ray is normal as of last week.

Yea, your nose isn't stuff everyday and you don't sound sick, I sound i am all fluid up and sick, but don't feel sick.

I am seen a ENT doc tomorrow.

I have allergies and hay fever symptoms every day of my life, and I am HIV negative.  I'm allergic to all kinds of things - dust, mold, some trees, some grass, pollen, etc.  Its that time of year for it to be worse.  I take allergy meds every day and some days I still have symptoms.

I am HIV negative.  

Your chest pain could be anxiety.  But you say its on both side, then the left hand side.

The side of the pain it could be two things, Muscle or Shingles. .. I checked online and the symptoms describe shingles, how long before I get an outbreak ?

That means immune system is down ?

The pain is on both side, lower chest, left hand side, sharp & burning pain that comes and last for about 10 sec and its gone...its been going on for at least like 3 or 4 weeks now.

Oh thats not it, I yet to mention the random stomach pain, loose stool, the rib cage pain, the stomach pain feels sharp in the abs, and then I would feel weakness around from the gut area where the sternum is  , you know where the ( Tymus gland ) where T-Cells are produced ..

Never had these feelings before. It's just to weird, and it ain't stress.

[MrLund]

It's very easy for everyone to say. But, yes I do know that you don't get cold type of symptoms with HIV, but hey, the cold symptoms shouldn't last a week.. Well I understand if it did, but it shouldn't make me feel good one day and make me feel **** the second day.

You see, plus ongoing symptoms are just getting worse.. Tomorrow I will see the doc again ,but well see what happens.

I do take AJ advice seriously, but hasn't anyone on the fourm ever got  Allergies / Hay Fever what ever it is and tested neg ?

Does anyone ever had many symptoms as I do ?

What does symptoms mean ? That means something is going on that your body doesn't like.

You don't get cold symptoms with HIV. Never.
You have a summer cold and/or allergies. It is summer and normal to sweat at night.
See your GP/PCP about your symptoms if they are of concern.
