Question: Hi....I have been experiencing since Saturday the feeling of a hot flash or allergic reaction to something. On Monday I went to urgent care....I was told if was menopause symptoms. I was bit by some fleas over the past week and thought perhaps this is the cause..... in august I had to be put on antibiotics for a bug bite. I am very allergic to many things. I went to my general doc yesterday...she knows my history and was put on doxycycline monohydrate. I have taken a total of 4 doses, 2 yesterday, 2 today. I'm still having heat radiating from my body and then at some point chills. Just a little bit ago I, I felt as if I was going to throw up...I only dry heaved. My belly is gassed up.. .I don't know from nerves or somethings is wrong. Should I be concerned? Do my syptoms fit for something other than an infection?

I have a gastrointestinal doc....it don't think it's gastritis. I actually take 40mg omrprazol daily. my skin is very warm to the touch...mostly my face, tops of legs and backs of arms.. I don't at the moment see any rashes. but....shouldn't the medicine be helping to relieve these symptoms a little bit after 2 days? I was on a cruise on the east coast and up into Canada 2 weeks ago. I returned home the 30th of september. the symptoms started 1 week later. it wouldn't be anything like septacemia, correct?...I know I did not spell that correctly...I also have a slight headache. As I have written I am allergic to many things. i am worrying myself which is perhaps causing other symptoms. The radiating heat is mostly constant, but I don't fell sick
