Several things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person. He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Several things: With symptoms this complex, you owe it to yourself to call your doctor to help you make sense out of them.
