I am now -past couple of weeks haiving pain in other parts of body i.e. chestpain, numbness in and tingling pain in face ,neck arms,back and legs feeling is in chest and stomach swelling right after eatring small meals Is this possilby related to infection from gums/teeth?
It is highly unlikely that any of your symptoms are related to your dental condition. I recommend an evaluation by your physician as soon as possible.
