I am a 29-year-old male with a stressful lifestyle, experiencing heart palpitations 1-3 times per day that last for 1-2 seconds, and shortness of breath. I also had an incident where I woke up feeling like my heart had stopped for a few seconds, followed by difficulty breathing. I had normal heart studies 5 months ago, including an echo, stress test, and chest x-ray. What could be causing these symptoms?

I have a fever that comes and goes, sore throat, ear pressure and pain, general malaise, and neck pain. I was diagnosed with sinusitis and ear infections. I'm concerned about meningitis due to the neck pain, but it feels muscular. My heart rate and blood pressure are also high. What should I do?

My throat has felt tight for two days, with pain to the touch yesterday but just dryness today. My stomach burns, my chest tickles, and I feel some relief when I burp. The pain in my throat comes and goes, and it feels tight and swollen, possibly achey. I have had laryngospasms before, and yesterday it felt like I was 'swallowing my throat' when I swallowed.

My legs and arms have been feeling very weird, like they fall asleep, and it comes and goes for a week at a time. I'm concerned because I read about HIV and am scared. What could be causing this and should I be worried about HIV?
