I had strange symptoms some years ago that no one could diagnose. I would feel swollen and very out of sorts. (No hives or anything like that.) Two or three years later it was discovered that I had an allergy to citrus.
I got on to the Blood Type Diet (Dr P D'Adamo) after experiencing years of allergic reactions & that has certainly helped pinpoint the particular foods & the reason for my reactions...it is a work in progress but after some months now, I am much more advanced & finding relief!!
Do you know if a cortisol level is included in your blood tests? Ask your doctors to check your adrenal function. Aldosterone, an adrenal hormone, helps regulate sodium levels.
Dizziness and nausea are associated with adrenal fatigue and electrolyte imbalance.
At first glance it sounds like you have hypertension due to adrenal fatigue.
I hope your doc gets it figured out soon. Good luck to you.
Thanks for the comments, the problem is that it seems that almost no matter what I eat, I seem to have some sort of reaction. I am just eating straight protein and vegetables now, to see if that helps. The nurse is so relaxed about the situation, and just tells me to eat things, that don't bother me, which is hard to do, because I am not exactly sure. I have to tests somethings, and hope that I don't get a bad reaction from it. The doctors should able to give me some diet plan to follow, till we get to the bottom of this. I will check Friday with them after I take my tests, and see what they say then.
There definitely will be foods that an individual will react to. And that's due to the fact that our genetic makeup is so different. For example, my mom dares not eat sea foods, because she definitely will react so badly that sometimes feels choked up. I really don't think it's of great concern, but to be onthe safer side, I think you should still take the blood tests to know the state of your health, including electrolyte balance. Really, i think you need to desist from taking such foods if it's possible.
