I'm really worried about my wife's health. She's been having this frequent pain in her right eye, and her vision isn't great according to the doctor. Plus, she has pain in her right arm and sometimes her leg. I've noticed that whenever she's stressed out or has been crying, these pains, especially in her eye, head, and arm, seem to get worse. For instance, after my brother-in-law passed away due to COVID, she was very stressed and the pain got severe. Even small things, like me not bringing home vegetables in time, seem to stress her out and increase her pain. On top of that, when she's really stressed, she complains about a headache, breathlessness, and pain in the center of her chest. Her ECG and blood tests came back fine, so I'm unsure about what's causing all this. Could this be psychological, or is there a possibility of an underlying heart condition? Any advice on what steps we should take next?

It sounds like your wife may be experiencing symptoms of stress-induced tension and anxiety, which can manifest as physical pain in various parts of the body. The headaches, eye pain, arm pain, and leg pain that she is experiencing could be related to stress and emotional distress. The fact that these symptoms worsen after stressful events or crying episodes further supports this idea. Additionally, the chest pain and breathlessness she experiences during periods of high stress could be due to anxiety and not necessarily a cardiac issue, especially since her ECG and blood reports came back normal. To help manage her symptoms, I recommend considering a combination of stress-reducing techniques and medications. For stress and anxiety relief, she can try practices such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, or mindfulness techniques. In terms of medication, she can benefit from an anxiolytic medication like alprazolam (Xanax) to help alleviate acute symptoms of anxiety and stress. For headache relief, she can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions. It's important to address the underlying stress and emotional triggers to prevent the recurrence of these symptoms. Encouraging open communication, seeking support from a therapist or counselor, and practicing self-care activities can also be beneficial for her overall well-being.

I've been feeling this really weird cold sensation in my right shoulder since last night, like there's a very cold AC blowing right on it. This happened after I twisted myself a bit while trying to adjust my car seat's headrest, which was a bit awkward, and then I sat through a 2-hour movie. My shoulder doesnt hurt, and I can move my arm perfectly fine without any redness or swelling, but this cold feeling is just odd. What could be going on here?

It could be a muscular spasm. as of now, you can apply a diclogel over the area and take a tablet zerodol TH8 twice a day after food for 2 days. it should reduce, if it doesn't, then you need to consult a orthopaedician in person for further evaluation and management.
