On And Off Nausea, Wretching And Vomiting After Eating Eggs. On Medication For Cholesterol. History Of Intake Of Eggs For Years. Possible Egg Allergy?
Hello. For the last about 7 or 8 years I have had an increasing reaction to eggs. I am 62 years old. I have eaten eggs all of my life. However, at first I noticed that at times eating an egg in a sandwich caused me nausea that I had to wait through for a few minutes and then it would disappear. This was something like an egg McMuffin or breakfast sandwich. It happens on and off but it seems to be more related to the whites of eggs than the yolk. I made two friend eggs yesterday took one bite and immediately started wretching and actually vomited ONLY what I ate and then I was fine. Needless to say I did not finish the eggs. I take Atorvastatin for Cholesterol levels control. Is this an egg allergy or what else could it be?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM. Just vomiting does not tell about allergy. The possibility of being allergic is there but very minimum. It may be psychological also. Get done skin prick test to diagnose. Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards Dr.Lohit
