See a Doctor!
Quite often people will ask health professionals on the message boards what we think their diagnosis is and of course we say that we can't answer their question.
It is impossible to diagnose someone without seeing them, hearing them, assessing them. And I am a nurse, not a doctor. I can not, nor do I want to be, in the business of diagnosing! I share and educate and I offer support and encouragement.
If you have a new symptom that persists and doesn't respond to simple interventions or if there is a significant change in an existing condition, then I encourage you to see your doctor and have a follow-up evaluation to determine if perhaps there is a new condition developing. Tests may be necessary to gain a definitive diagnosis.
