Anyone experienced breathing trouble from olive oil touching your skin?

I am wanting to know if anyone else has experienced the following:

1. When I used the ceramide skincare product from Elizabeth Arden on my face, Vitamin E lip care from Body shop and used extra virgin olive oil to massage on my hair and scalp, I experienced breathing problem and heart racing. And I would feel like I am going to faint. The feeling lasts until I wash the product off multiple times, and I will feel extremely exhausted and loss of appetite afterwards. I do not get any rash or itchiness. The only symptoms are breathing trouble and heaviness around my chest, heart racing and feeling like I am going to faint.

I have also been dealing with digestion problem, which I am still not diagnosed with. Recent tests said that I have overgrowth of Klebsella bacteria but I keep relapsing after herbal treatment with naturopath. I am wondering if the skin reaction has anything to do with digestion as I never experienced those symptoms my entire life. And it’s so strange that there is no skin rash or itchiness. Anyone else experienced it?

Thanks,
Nuri

You took all 3 at once each time when you got this reaction? If so, then try to isolate the problem by just taking one.

No, I took them on separate occasions but got the same reaction of breathing problem.
It seems odd that olive oil and Vit E on the skin could make an allergic reaction that would affect your heart. Did the doc give you a treatment for the Klebsella bacteria and did you mention those 2 allergies?
Nothing prescribed by my doctor yet. He wants me to do contact allergy test but the wait time for the specialist can be up to 2 years. I have been working with a naturopath for klebsella bacteria treatment but I keep relapsing. No one is due what’s happening.
How did you end up diagnosed with Klebsella if you didn't see a doctor? And if so they would have given you a treatment.
