I have been having insomnia being woken with heart palpitations and sweating and not being able to sleep. Is this Sibo? I’ve been tested for everything else and everything is normal. But I can’t sleep. Sleeping pills don’t work when my episode is “over” I can sleep. I have severe bloating I look 6 months pregnant constantly.

Hi Fembot, I saw your post. SIBO symptoms are bloating, gas, diarrhea & stomach pain. I know you mention bloating but none of the other symptoms. You may look at your diet to see if the bloating is food related. Something to possibly consider is some anxiety creeping in, this can cause the palpitations & sweating too.

A hydrogen breath test can be done to dx SIBO. I hope you can get some answers. Take care.

Anxiety was everyone’s first guess. Being on an ssri made my symptoms worse.
