Gastrointestinal discomfort and confusion
Hello,
I have now had the following complaints for the 3rd or 4th time in the last few months, somehow I feel like it is getting more intense each time. Right now, it has hit me again. The day before yesterday I didn't feel quite right, but I blamed it on the rainy weather. In the evening I had a few sips of red wine (half a glass, really not much) and suddenly I felt drunk. A bit confused, a bit sensitive to light, really strange somehow. I thought to myself, it can't be from just a little bit of wine, right? I went to bed early, thinking that sleep always helps. But I was very restless in bed, which was very unsettling for me. When I woke up in the morning, it wasn't much better. I was still confused, sometimes I couldn't concentrate on thinking, so I was confused when speaking or writing. And I had this feeling of an infection in my stomach and on my bronchi. I went to the doctor. I also notice right now as I type this text, I have to correct every 20th word because I make typos. At the doctor's office, my blood pressure was 130/86, blood sugar 75, EKG was normal, they also listened to my bronchi, but the doctor said everything was okay. So I went back home. I was very tired and also had a few sweat outbreaks and stomach ache. No vomiting, but a little bit of nausea, but not too bad. And this feeling of congested bronchi. I slept again, but still not much better today. If it's like the last few times, I should feel my lymph nodes under my armpits today, get a slightly elevated temperature (sublingual 37.5°), and after 2-3 days it should be gone. At least that's how it was the last 2-3 times.
Brief background: In recent years I have had panic attacks and abdominal complaints from time to time. Earlier this year I had a kidney infection, which was successfully treated with antibiotics. Continued abdominal complaints, my GP ruled out Crohn's disease with a blood test and ultrasound. We then assumed it was irritable bowel syndrome and I have been taking Symbiolact Comp since the beginning of August. The abdominal complaints disappeared immediately after the first dose, until now.
What is bothering me now:
What could it be that I repeatedly get these, I would say, infections? Always involving my stomach and bronchi, confusion, lack of energy, tiredness, and then slightly elevated temperature for 2-3 days. Or could it be that I'm eating something wrong so often? I somehow don't believe in that anymore.
I am also afraid that it is getting more intense each time. This experience of spontaneous drunkenness without sufficient alcohol consumption is very unsettling to me!
