Hello,

 

These do sound like the symptoms of an allergy reaction, but we can't diagnose you over the Internet. You may want to be tested for a shellfish allergy with an allergist. At any rate, I would encourage you to talk with your doctor about how you have been feeling and to rule out any other medical conditions that might be causing these symptoms.

 

To your health,

Kathi

Answer This
An allergy is the immune system's over-reaction to a normally harmless substance called an allergen.
