Hi all, I'm so glad I found this forum. I have similar symptoms that started cca. one year ago, with an acute phase, triggered by very spicy food and alcohol. I was suffering from shaking and rapid hartbeat with hypertension 2 weeks long (never had these before). And I was cold - normally, I'm rarely cold, I rather dislike heat.
I started a diet, the symptoms were gone but returned when I ate something irritating. Later, I experienced symptoms only when I drank alcohol. So I avoided alcohol for a long time.
EKGs, heart ultrasound, lab test results were fine except slightly increased CRP and GPT (liver enzyme) but these got back to normal level.
I had gastroscopy and was diagnosed with: mild chronicus, aspecificus duodenitis and mild chronicus, reactiv antrum-gastritis. It turned out that my DAO is low, which is probably an aftermath of duodenitis.
I took antacids, probiotics and the symptoms were gone. But during my holiday I tried alcohol again and I have symptoms again. I'm not sure alcohol caused this as the symptoms do not appear right after drinking alcohol, and despite I avoid alcohol again, I experienced shaking and rapid hartbeat recently.
I am very concerned about this. I thought the inflammation would heal in almost one year...
