Please help, I can't get into the Neurologist until October and am doing so poorly, I may go to the ER.

Here is the jist of my entire illness from start to finish.

I started with a sinus infection back at the end of April, turned into left chest pain in May, add in vibrations in upper chest near neck in mid May, add in mental fogginess in June, and finally add in numb/hot cheeks (but not red) for the last few weeks.

I have been on antibiotic, inflammation steroid, Claritin, hypertension medicine, and adjusted to help solve the left chest pain, which the last diagnosis was displaced rib. I had blood work for auto immune disorders back in June, negative. I had a chest x-ray back in June, normal.

The fogginess started after a migraine in June and has been daily ever since. The numbness/hot cheeks started at the end of June and has gone from once in awhile to nonstop, everyday. The numb/hot cheeks is my major concern right now. The doctor referred me to a neurologist, but the earliest I can get in is Oct. I'm worried I may have some kind of nerve problem and this feeling could become permanent.

The burning in the cheeks is a 10 on the pain scale / intensity scale. The numbness in the cheeks comes and goes, but the left cheek seems to persist even in down times. The burning in the neck, upper chest, and forehead comes on when the cheeks get bad. Tylenol does nothing. Wet wash clothes do nothing. The chest vibration happens every time I cough and is near the left clavicle. I had a migraine again all day today (probably less than 10 lifetime and 2 since getting sick, both were also the longest ever too -this one today was 8am-11pm, the other was 6ish hours).

I could use any and all suggestions or possible diagnosis of this. It's been a miserable few months with the chest pain, but now I have all of the early symptoms and this awful, nonstop burning and numbness. It's crippling me and making day to day living impossible.
