I can get similar feeling over many years (I suffer from severe allergies/carry epipens) What you describe sounds very similar to physical reactions from severe stress that needs addressing. Fear can increase in intensity and become physical, so it's not easy to control....Not overlooking that something could be aggravating your condition. If not an allergy, then maybe a reaction to something in your environment, like highly perfumed candles, room fragrance, toilet cleaners, etc., all of which are 'perfumed' by crop spray, used universally but poisonous. There's also a small percentage of people who react to hand sanitisers, I am one of them. I've found things like deep breathing, relaxation, meditation, mindfulness, yoga or gentle physical exercise/walking helps a lot. There are many self help ways to assist bringing it under control and lots to be found online. Hope you feel better soon.

I would say it's not possible to be allergic to everything. It may be a good idea to make an appointment with your GP and tell them how you are feeling. Hopefully your post will be picked up and answered by a medical professional on this site or someone who can help with advice.... taking care of you is your priority.
