Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Panic Attacks, Fever At Night And IBS
Hello Dr,
I hope all is well.
I have recently been looking into histamine as a cause for a few of my problems and I would like to get your take on it if you don't mind.
I believe I have a histamine intolerance. Below are a few things I have been experiencing for quite some time now:
1. My skin gets really itchy and when I scratch it, it turns bright red within a matter of seconds. My dermatologist said it is Dermographism although I do not get big welts. I read Dermographism is from the body creating too much histamine. My skin also may not be itchy bit just gets red blotches on it for no reason. I have attached a picture here.
2. I suffer from Anxiety and Panic Attacks.
3. My feet get really hot at night and my body temperature rises.
4. I have a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep.
5. I blow my nose alot.
6. I wake up never feeling rested.
7. My eyes burn sometimes and I cannot tolerate really bright day light.
8. I have been diagnosed with IBS (although it seems to be getting better).
9. My glucose fasting was 6.1 and suggests pre-diabetes even though I exercise regularly. I am 5' 8" and weigh 128 pounds so I am not overweight.
10. My A.M. cortisol was 743 (so very high).
11. Abdominal pain followed by abnormal discharge (this has been happening on and off for years).
12. PMS
Those are just a few of my symptoms. I know Histamine Intolerance is hard to diagnose so I'm not even sure that I do have it but my doctor seems to thing changing my diet cannot hurt and may be a good thing to try. I have switched to a low histamine diet a couple of days ago and have added the below vitamins into my diet (I may be overdoing it on the vitamins so please tell me if I am). Are these the right vitamins? Should I add or take anything out?
