Facial flushing when fatigued/after shower or meals
Hi all! Have an appt with immunology/allergy tomorrow to discuss possible MCAS but I’m wondering if it’s worth bringing up the fact that if I over exert myself/do too much in one day my cheeks completely flush. It also happens after showers and eating when I’m exhausted. I have other symptoms - chronic sinus problems - GI issues (dumping syndrome type stuff with badddd nausea and diarrhea 10-15 min after meals sometimes) - constipation - brain fog - fatigue - chronic headaches - weird rashes - night sweats - nightly low grade fevers - joint pain - many more I know flushing can be a symptom of MCAS but my drs also suspect I have dysautonomia which could play a role. The more tired I am, the worse it gets. I am recovering from flu an and c diff colitis right now and just worked a full day on my feet so the shower sent it into overdrive. My whole face gets super hot and it takes upwards of an hour for it to fade (or until I get sleep). Is this worth adding to my symptom list? Does anyone else experience this? Thanks sm!!
