I have a shocking pain on the left side of my chest that radiates into my shoulder and upper arm. It started 3 days ago and keeps getting worse. I'm 64 years old with stage 4 lung cancer. The pain feels deep and I can't describe it well, but it's a 7 out of 10 on the pain scale. I also feel feverish, sweaty, and nauseous. I'm on oxygen. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

I feel extremely tired with any slight activity, my appetite is low, and I have been diagnosed with sinusitis and high cholesterol. I am currently taking Simvastatin. I have also done various tests including kidney function, malaria, typhoid, ECG, echocardiogram, and thyroid tests, all of which came back normal or negative except for the thyroid test. My TSH is very low, indicating hyperthyroidism. I am a 32-year-old mother of a 6-month-old baby and have been experiencing sleep deprivation. What could be causing my extreme fatigue, and what dietary and medication changes should I make?
