Hot hands, feet, and other symptoms.

My name is Ryan, and I'm 14 year old male.

Okay, sorry if I get any grammar or spelling wrong in this one, but I'm really annoyed at how I don't think the doctor was taking me seriously. I have been feeling the majority of these symptoms for over a year (mostly 2 years). Here I will list the symptoms I have been feeling.

Sweaty hands and sometimes sweaty feet, been going on for over two years.

Hot hands and feet, this has also been going on for more than two years.

Pain in right part of chest around the nipple area if I move my head down in bed, this has been happening over a year.
The only way I can describe this pain is dull, and pushy.

Cannot move right foot up, and I cannot move the big toe on my right foot up. Been going on for only 3 weeks.

Redness in feet and hands, and I get spots on my hands if I put them down. This has been happening for over two years.

At least a 7 hour lasting dull pain in left part of chest, my doctor grinned and chuckled about this, seemed as if she was implying it was caused by anxiety. Which I don't disagree on, but I don't think it's appropriate to laugh at that. But the pain only happened once, and it was about 2 or 3 weeks ago probably.

Bluish lines under eyes; this has been constant for over a year now and it's kinda gotten me worried.

I have also swallowed a water bottle cap (similar to this http://www.fourinthecity.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/BottleCapArt-2.jpg) I had an oral fixation on them for a while and it slipped right down.

For a while now my heartbeat seems to be faster and pumping more, would that be related to chest pains if not anxiety?

       I might have a few other things to be listed here, i'll be sure to post them if I can think of anymore.
I'm just tired of not being taken seriously and it just being put off as "being a teenager". Because of this I wasn't able to tell my doctor about all of my symptoms, all I said is that I was having issues with moving feet and my hands and feet were hot and sweaty sometimes. I am probably overreacting, but if i'm not please correct me.

Thanks.

       I swallowed that bottle cap about a year ago i'd say. Would it still cause problems today? The doctor kept talking over me so I had no chance to talk about the cap being swallowed or if it could be causing me problems. I have also thought about it being trapped on the near spot of my lungs, I don't know if I am just going insane or my breathing seems to be shorter. I get congestion in my breathing if I haven't taken a deep breath in a while and cough.  I don't feel like I can breathe as open as before. Although I don't exercise, working on it. I had an x-ray of my stomach in the ER; they told me that the x-ray machine can't always pickup small plastic items. Would an ultra sound be able to pickup plastic?

The excessive warmness feeling is usually at night, or if I've been standing for a long time, I don't think it is related to food. I'm not allergic to any food as far as I know, but i'll ask anyways.

I told my father and he said it's all related to circulation, so I've been taking long walks to possibly help.

I have googled so many things about hot feet but it always come up as burning and painful, which I don't experience. Thanks for the responses, if I go back i'll be sure to bring some up.

     Get the doctor to take an x-ray of your lungs.  You might have aspirated the bottle cap into one of your lungs.  Also, it might be that you are trying to make enough acid to dissolve the bottle cap in your stomach or intestines.  That would give you a hot feeling in your extremities as your body works hard to do something about the situation.   Did you mention to the doctor that you had swallowed the bottle cap?
      An x-ray or ultrasound is really the only way to know if that bottle cap is causing you problems.
     Make an appointment!

    Wishing you a good outcome...

It might be related to food sensitivities.  Were you allergic to anything when you were little?  Do you notice any foods that seem to cause problems?  Try eliminating one of your favorite foods for a week or two and see if you feel better.  Try less sugar and and no diet drinks.
