My sister is 29 years old. She has been complaining of feeling of heavy pressure on the chest, as if somebody was sitting on it. She also has numbing sensation in the mouth, the mouth feeling hot. Also pain in the back of the head just above the nape of the neck. She has been to the doctor several times, but all they say is that she has cought a chill. What could the real problem be?

Chest pressure with radiation to the head and jaw in women is often an indicator of heart trouble. Has she had an EKG and stress test? I would get one just to be sure. If everything is normal cardiac-wise, it's possible she is having major anxiety attacks, in which case she should consider medication for controlling these episodes.

Has this happened once, or frequently?
Is there a metallic / coppery taste in her mouth? - that would be excessive adrenalin in her system.
It sounds like anxiety attacks, but better safe than sorry. Get her to ER for an ECG.
Also, get her checked out for hypreactive thyroid

I think she should go back to the doctor and have an x ray of her chest to see what might the problem be!
