 Hello -
The first thing that comes to mind with this set of symptoms is possible rheumatic fever. It is only a guess, and you should see a doctor as soon as possible to find out what's really going on, but there is that one possibility, unless, of course, you already have a history of some sort of rheumatic disease.
Best of luck to you. Please follow up with us as needed.
