Please read and answer, it's long

This is kind of long so bare with me.

So, when I was about 28 weeks pregnant, I was on vacation, (back in early December) starving, so I scarfed down a bunch of smores (lol) all of the sudden my mouth /tongue started going numb, and my left hand and arm started tingling. I thought maybe I just ate too fast or something since I was starving & i just had a weird reaction. Nothing ever came from it so I never thought about it, til recently.

I had my baby in February..

A week ago today, I went to the restaurant my sister works at, and ordered a chicken, bacon, ranch wrap. It had: chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and ranch. I also was very hungry when I ate this, so I kinda scarfed it down again. I also had fries with ketchup. Within about 15 minutes my mouth started going numb again. (This is 5 months since the first time.) I freaked out and googled. Of course it said "food allergy" if mouth is going numb. I took Benadryl and passed out soon after.

Yesterday, I went to my mother in laws restaurant for lunch. I ordered a chicken, bacon, ranch wrap again. I honestly thought since it was from a different place, maybe it would be fine. Within 15 minutes of eating it again, my mouth and tongue started going numb. So I had to take Benadryl and leave work early and literally laid in bed for hours exhausted but scared to death so I didn't get ANY sleep. Worst feeling EVER.

I am literally at a loss. I have been able to eat ALL of these ingredients my entire life. AND I also have had this wrap multiple times from my mother in laws restaurant SINCE baby has been born. But now all of a sudden, this issue is happening. I am also able to eat chicken, ranch, lettuce, cheese, wheat, on ANYTHING else. I have never experienced this. Now, I do/have been having horrible anxiety since being pregnant and having my baby. I'm not sure why I'm not having mouth numbness after anything else I eat besides these wraps. And like I said I was just able to eat one of these wraps two months ago with no issues.

Now someone told me that this sounds maybe like a cover up for a neurological issue since I'm dealing with numbness. But let me tell you what else I've went through. Back in September of 15 during the first trimester of my pregnancy, I ran to the er due to my head feeling "heavy" and I had a ct scan done on my brain and it came back normal.

I also have been getting dizzy/vibrating sensations throughout my whole body when I nap, but I figured that was from being exhausted from the baby. The best way to describe what I've been feeling is, since we live in a small apartment, the washer will shake the whole house when it's spinning, and that's what it feels like when I'm having this vibration feeling. But my body is literally not even moving. It's like on the inside. I figured it was from sleep deprivation

When I was pregnant my left arm and hand would tingle in my sleep and wake me up. Plus I got dizziness occasionally.


Is this worth going to the emergency room and having another ct scan on my head again? What could this be? I'm freaking out

Pregnancy does weird things to our bodies! I think you e developed some sort of allergy, too.

After you see the doctor, if they think everything seems okay, it's possible your anxiety increased after pregnancy. I had a lot of additional anxiety after becoming a Mom. Along with all of the hormonal changes, etc, your lifestyle changes and it can bring on additional stress with new symptoms. Hope you get answers quickly, and if it is not an allergy, I'm proof you can survive raising 3 children with anxiety and depression and there are many others of us out there...

Lisa My sister had this numbness on her left side of her face just 2 weeks ago..doctors did some blood tests..they found that her sugar levels were very low and blood pressure high , obviously the blood pressure was caused by her stressing with numbness but she's fine now. I also suggest blood tests...get well soon... Don't stress it can be sorted out.
