What is causing my feverish symptoms?

Question

This has been happening for about a week now, randomly.  My face will suddenly turn red, usually starting at the ears and spreading from there.  My face gets hot, and slowly the rest of my body starts to feel hot as well.  I get dizzy, my vision blurs, and my eyes sting.  After a few minutes my face continues to get hotter while the rest of my body starts to feel chilly.

This lasts between five minutes and a couple of hours before dissipating.  I can't find any particular trigger - it happens at school, at home, and at work.  Temperature does not seem to be a factor in triggering it, though cold air feels good when it happens.  I have not been under stress recently, nor am I depressed, and alcohol is not involved.

Today it happened and I had a new symptom: difficulty breathing.  It was not life threatening, I could still breathe, but my throat felt tight.  I am getting close to giving in and seeing my doctor, but I'd prefer not to. I just wish I had some idea of what it is.

I know going to the doctor is a pain, but you probably should. It sounds to me like you may have an allergy to something...food allergy maybe? I would go to the doctor and tell him your symptoms, he could give u a lot more info. than me. Look for signs that may tell you what triggers it. If you had a certain food every time before it happened, or was near a dusty carpet or something. Keep a close eye, go to the doctor, it may be something more serious! Good Luck!

I think the abdominal pain ( constipation) is most likely related to your lack of water. The vaginal discharge and feverish feeling, though, make me think that there is something else going on. Yellow discharge is a sign of infection so I recommend that you make an appt tomorrow with your OB as it is not safe for you to let infection go, especially during pregnancy. Something that you can do to get yourself to drink more water is to make a deal with yourself that you have to drink 8 ounces of water before you can drink a soda or juice. It's a great motivation tool because water is very important. Be careful consuming too much sugar during pregnancy.
