Sleep problems can be important symptoms
One lady wrote: “I have had chronic insomnia for 30+ years which has worsened in the last 12-18 months.

High BP with perfumes
Each food-sensitive person is unusual, but some are very unusual! Shalu’s blood pressure rises with exposure to perfumes! She writes “So it's not me alone, who is battling this blood pressure problem. Doctors say it's just your stress which raises BP suddenly. But having BP of 118/70 with medicines, and spiking to level 190/100, only because of perfumes, and odour sensitivity is my problem. I got this problem after having my baby. Strange!!!
