Throat itchiness, chest tightness and feel the muscle between shoulder will sometimes pain as well
Hi Doctor, I am a women, 26 years old. Undergo cyst removal open surgery in January 2020 and currently having medicine (Norethisterone) due to irregular period. I have also panic attacks as my history in these few years.
Currently I am having throat and nose itchiness without any cough and no fever, just feeling very hot due to the weather. Sometimes i will feel chest tightness and the muscle around throat and shoulder will have little tight when i get nervous especially when i feel the throat itchiness as I am very worry on the Covid-19 spreading rapidly in Malaysia.
May I know what will cause the throat and nose itchiness?
