chest pain/red dots/strechmarkrashes/allergist

i felt "funny" today. that wiped out feeling for a bit. but i was able to move the living room around, make dinner, sweep, among other stuff. at dinner time my chest was hurting but only around my esophagus and my heart area so mike said it must have been some muscle or something (not my heart). i feel that chip in my throat still. i heard that meant acid reflux not really a chip. i still havent had my period. i go tot he allergist tommorrow and i'm asking for mold testing, and food and other allergy testing. as much as i can get. they did test last time for immune disfunctions (like last year) and i was all good in that area. friday is my LLMD apointment. i'm having nasal dishcarge and head pressure slightly. also i'm seeing more freckle sized red dots in places like my back arms torso and legs. not nearly as many as that one time i broke out. and i'm finding those "Strech mark" rashes around. last week i had 3 on my butt. this week i had 3 small ones on my hip. and now i have on on my stomach.
