Friend moved in and has had these symptoms for two months. I have 2 new cats at the same time. She has been to a Dr, but the medicine he gave her has not worked. Still very ill. I am just wondering if she could be allergic to the cats.
Q: can allergic symptoms be fatigue,nausea,chest congestion, muscle soreness? maybe allergic to cats?

Hi Frost... Typical allergy symptoms are sneezing, runny & stuffy nose, chronic cough, perhaps wheezing if asthma is involved. These symptoms can interfere with sleep and so fatigue may also be a symptom. But nausea, chest congestion and muscle soreness are NOT typical allergy symptoms.
I would encourage your friend to go back to the doctor for further evaluation. Don't just assume what's going on is an allergy to cats.
Take care,
Kathi
