Histamine imbalances impact more than just sneezing and runny, itchy eyes. Histamine is a hormone that our body makes and, while it has essential roles to play, when we get too much it can cause us grief in many different ways. Here are a few examples:
Headaches and migraines – Especially ones that seem to come out of nowhere, or get worse around your period
Dizziness or feeling faint – Particularly if it happens after eating certain foods or during your menstrual cycle
Digestive issues – Bloating, stomach pain, or digestive upset that seems random
Fatigue – Feeling tired even when you’ve had enough sleep
Mood changes – Anxiety, irritability, or feeling “off” emotionally
Sleep problems – Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, waking up between 2-4 am
Heart palpitations – Your heart racing for no apparent reason
Skin issues – Rashes, eczema, or unexplained skin irritation
Period problems – Severe cramping, heavy bleeding, headaches, migraines or feeling awful around your cycle
Many of these symptoms are seemingly unrelated, yet histamine connects a lot of them.
