Chronic inflammation is what I deal with and it affects every system of the body. So in your central nervous system, let's think of like your brain, your hearing can be affected. So it can be very sensitive to sound, sensitive to light. You can have headaches, you can have brain fog. It's to me more characterized by short term memory loss, like you can't remember where you put your keys or you know, very disconcerting things like you can't remember your kids names. Sometimes you may not want to remember their names, but sometimes you can't. And then every, you know, other aspect, like your musculoskeletal system, you can have joint pain and muscle pain. I just saw a patient a few minutes ago who had all these symptoms. Your cardiovascular system can be affected. You can have or feel like you have a racing heart, even though when you're put on an EKG machine you don't. Pulmonary symptoms, you know, symptoms from the pulmonary system can vary and some of it has to deal with. Can't take a deep breath.

I know that one. I hear a lot. They feel like chest almost weight or compression.
