Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Your symptoms are suggestive of intolerance to fish (and perhaps, sea-food). If you develop symptoms after eating a particular species of fish, try another species. Intolerance (to sea-foods) would be confirmed if the symptoms recur).

The most effective way to avoid symptoms, would be to avoid sea-foods all together.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
