I came to CANADA FOR STUDIES: I am stressing on the fact coz there was huge climate change..!!....it was in 1st week of Nov.2007 tht one night after dinner i suddenly had a kinda attack..of both ears got red and pricky (note tht i had loose motions the same day)..dizziness, little breathlessness,palpitations and uneasiness..i popped 2 atarax this time but no use....for a moment i thought i should call EMERGENCY....but after some time i was better( not normal)& slept off..but could not sleep the whole night.....next day was fine..i didnt eat anything..but at night i got it again(same symptoms)...i went to doctor who did blood test....My haemocrit was perfectly normal..except the fact that my IgE antibodies were 333 units( normal is less thn 100 units)...I was termed as having an ALLERGY.....I went to allergy specialist...but he ruled out it being allergy..!!...meanwhile my stomach never came to NORMAL.....I started getting some other symptoms like cold hands/sweaty hands/ light headedness/anxiety/ mild vertigo..!!!...mild burning skin...and stuff, but since it was freezing cold out I used to think my body is reacting to cold,as i come from tropical country & this is 1st winter.....I did stool test (NORMAL), i did ultrasound of abdomen(Normal), I did Barium meal test (normal)......i have no weight loss,fever or signs of infection....My current problems are...1)I feel cold hands,feet without any apparent reason. 2) My stomach is better, no loose motions, but thr is bloating, gas, white tongue etc 3) sleeplessness 4) mild redness over skin which comes and goes & little burning on & off..5) suddenly my ear starts tingling and gets red..6) I get ANXIOUS without apparent reason.7) mild vertigo.
