Hello,
I understand that you feel your reactions are unusual. I would recommend that you contact your treating doctor that was responsible for the endoscopy procedure. If this is an allergic reaction, you are wise to try and determine what caused this reaction. Monitoring devices attached to your body can cause some skin irritation. This could be a seperate reaction from the hot feeling. Certain uncomfortable reactions are well within normal limits and may be of no concern. A mild allergic reaction could indicate a need to avoid future use. A second exposure could give an exaggerated response.
Please refer to any printed information given to you at your visit. This may list expected reactions. Consulting your doctor to review all reactions is the best advice.
I hope your symptoms are lessening. This is a good sign. Any increase could indicate a severe allergic reaction that you should seek iediate attention for. It could be to something you exposed yourself to afterwards as you mentioned the fruit. You must make sure you disclose any known allergies that you have.
Thank you for your inquiry and details.
