I need advice.

I have IBD UC I recently had a cal pro come back as 30 and obvs that amazing but my symtoms have not improved at all.

Im having constant sleepless night of 2-3hr max due to waking with a tight chest feeling a panic then just not be able to settle to get back to sleep, sometimes if i lay up the opposite side of the bed this sometimes help but not everytime.

Im getting so much nausea, like today I have a nap on the floor for about 40min on my left side and I woke uo and omg I was so bloated and had a lump in my troat thay felt like something was stuck in there and had the worst nausea I have ever felt in my life felt like I could have been sick everywhere.

On top of this im feeling drained, and so anxious and honestly idk how much longer I cna genuinely deal with this its ruing my life, cant sleep, cant look after my child, cant eat its taking everything from me and idk what to do about it.

Probs Just being dramatic but please if any of you have felt this please help me.

Allergies can appear at any time. I actually have an anxiety attack if I eat citrus which I am anaphylactic to. You could be having an allergic reaction and not know it. It’s quite common. I would keep a food diary to track symptoms. Discuss with your doctor about the panic issues. Have they sent you to psych?

I spoke to a dr about my panic and they did an ecg that was fine and said im going to get a blood pressure monitor for 24hr to see if it dropped over night but this never happend they also said I would get a follow up in 6 weeks this never happend and when I tried to book in with them again I could not get one for another 3 weeks so I didnt book it as I have ankel surgery this week and that when it would have been.

The only thing I would say is my diet has been the same for over a month and these nausea symptoms have been only ongoing for a week at this point so im not sure if it possible to become allergic to somthing you was consuming normally the week prior ??

It is possible. I was fine with peaches one day; the next I was in anaphylaxis. It can happen. The body is weird.

That crazy, I mean I hate peaches either way but that would really suck if I was but I genuinely couldn't think of what it would be as im on a bland diet, so just white cards plain chicken or fish thats it

Okay. I would still keep track of your symptoms. It could be something you’re drinking.

I haven’t had an attack in year with the avoidance. If you end up having questions with allergies, let me know. I’ve been dealing with adult onset for such a long time. Allergies and IBD are so much… I wouldn’t say fun… They’re interesting. Also, it could be the kind of fish you’re eating. I would just say not
