I've been having this muscle pain around my chest for a while now. I think it might be a muscle tear from sleeping in a bad position. There's no breathlessness, just pain. Do you think it's anything serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain in your chest, possibly due to a muscle tear from sleeping in the wrong posture. Since you are not experiencing breathlessness, it is less likely to be related to any serious cardiac issues. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm really confused and worried about what's happening with me. Not too long ago, I had typhoid and after the 10-day treatment, the tests said I'm clear. But soon after getting back to my routine, I started driving for a long time, like 9 hours, and then a couple of days later, my hands and feet felt cold again, which was the initial symptom of my typhoid. Now, even though the typhoid seems to be gone, I'm experiencing this overwhelming weakness in my body and I can't seem to stand on my legs properly. What could be causing this?

The recurring coldness in hands and feet, along with weakness and inability to stand, could be due to post-typhoid complications, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or neurological issues, so consult your doctor immediately for a thorough evaluation, including blood tests and physical examination, to determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
