I'm no doctor or anything, but have you had your thyroid checked? My dad went through the same thing and doctors found a lump on his thyroid. So far doesnt seem cancerous, but they might have to remove his thyroid. He is on medication that seems to have helped him, but now he suffers from low energy and his immune system seems weak.
I had similar symptoms but mine ended up being from a neck injury from a car accident i was in. My job requires me to tilt my head to the side in weird ways and it was straining the injured area causing pressure. If by exercise you mean weight lifting or something, you might want to tone it down and give yourself more rest time in between because you may be cutting off circulation in areas of the body with swelling muscles.
Just spit-balling here, like i said, i'm no doctor, just going according to experiences i have had.
