First, I will be going to see a doctor but I'm trying to find any information I can so I can point the doctor in the right direction. Many doctors don't believe me or clearly don't care so I'm trying to come armed with as much information as I can.
Here are my symptoms. (they may or may not be all related. i have no idea)
After eating certain foods (i.e. pizza, Smirnoff vodka, red meat, some chicken, apple juice, dark colas):
bloating
chest pain and feeling of chest compression
facial numbness
extreme headaches
heavy limbs
neck pain
numb fingers
joint pain
dizzyness/lightheaded
nausea
After other foods (i.e. salads, caffeine, chocolate):
anxiety
panic attacks
depression
The above have been so severe that I have been hospitalized twice and put into inpatient and outpatient treatment.
The onset of these symptoms is within 15 mins of eating the food, most often sooner. Also, I will occasionally have a sharp stabbing pain under the right side of my rib cage that is very tender to touch. The bloating seems to be a persistent thing. I also do not have regular bowel movements.
I try to eat as healthy as I possibly can and exercise. I avoid these foods but it's impossible for me to indentify what foods I can and cannot eat without trying it first since I have no idea what is in the foods that could be causing this.
If you have experienced something similar or have any ideas please help me. Thank you!
I forgot to include that for the past 2-3 months my hair has started falling out. At first I thought I was just being paranoid when I saw a lot of hair in my brush and in the shower but now it is visible. It is not from a specific location, just all over.
