    This used to happen to me when I was a teenager. It is an allergic reaction, and could be from a food, but not necessarily. My family thought I was allergic to turkey, then ham, as it would always happen during extended family get-togethers. It turned out to be an emotional reaction to family stress - but the treatment was still Benadryl, as in an allergic reaction. (I outgrew it.)

    since you've tried the OTC meds that might treat this without effect, see your doctor.

  • It might be something your eatting talk to a doctor
