Worried about symptoms.

I'm a little Concerned over an itch that has initially started ony chest and under my breast. The itch is very hard to satisfy and has now moved to other parts of my body, arms, torso, back, legs, scalp and face and eyes, the torso and back and sometimes my arms can be worse. I happen to have a dry cough that doesn't seem to ease or get better, it sometimes happens just by bending down. I have had little lumps behind my ears come and go and haven't thought anything of it. I now have lowerbck pain and experience a sharp pain between my shoulder blades. I have spokem to my GP who has said apart from giving me athistamines at night and cream he can't do anything else. I've used double the dose advised on anthistamines and still it does not help and neither does the cream. Not sure where to go now

  • I think it would be a good idea to write your symptoms down in a diary to help next time you see the GP.

    It might be worth getting a second opinion or asking if they can do a scan especially if you're getting pain in multiple areas and other symptoms such as itching.

    I would be honest about your concerns with your gp, and say you want further investigations to find out the cause. 

    Sending you best wishes
