Hi All,

For the last week i have been getting shooting pains / aching / tingling in both my arms and my legs, it seems to be predominatly the left side of my body.

I have recently given up smoking (now on week three of cold turkey!) and i wonder if this could be anything to do with it?? Or is that ridiculous? Also, i am currently taking Doxycycline for anti-malaria so thought it might be that, but i started taking them over a month ago.

I also have been diagnosed with GERD... But im sure this isnt a factor.

I'm just really scared... I lost my mum to a heart attack 5 years ago (she was 48) and i just know it is going to happen to me too.

Last night was so scary as the pains were in my left shoulder and neck too.

I am currently in Vietnam and not back in the uk for 6 weeks so cant go to my GP.

If anyone has any ideas i'd be so grateful.... I just feel so alone and scared out here.

Im so petrified im about to have a heart attack or maybe have cancer.
