Hi
I need you to check your heart first do an EKG and echo to check your heart then explore other possibility like diabetes or thyroid imbalance
I do not see how a nerve compression can affect the whole body
Good Luck
It could be many things like peripheral neuropathy or compressed nerves,but to be more helpful please let me know your age/sex/other history?
Have you been through any lab tests like CBC,thyroid?
hi,
this can be a symptom of peripheral neuropathy,not necessarily due to an HIV.
you can start on multivitamin and protein supplements till you get ur blood reports.
thanks
I recommend u to do MRI on ur back bones
Hi..
Thanks for the query..
Your symptoms are pointing towards Peripheral Polyneuropathy and it is not a symptom of HIV..
Rather it is commonly seen in patients with uncontrolled Diabetes and other causes..
I would suggest you to consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated and investigation like blood tests to check for sugar levels, vitamin B 12, thyroid etc has to be done..
MRI, and CT scan can be done to check for nerve compression and other causes..
Electromyography should also be done..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
