It started in like 2020/2019 It's been kinda hard for me to breathe and my chest area feels kinda tight (it's been going on for some time now). I'd like to know what it might be. It started Sunday June 20, 2021. Also, I've had a body ache and a poking sensation. It started with the bone under my collar bone on my right arm then it started going all over my body, my neck and ear were bothered. Then it started randomly going to my head and now it's on my left shoulder and arm it also sometimes goes to the left side of my rib also hands literally everywhere. I got the COVID vaccine about 2 weeks ago so I'm wondering if it might be that or something else.
