How Accurate Is Pulse Testing For Allergies?

I have been reading a little online and was wondering if this really works. I think I may have a food allergy or 2 since I am having some symptoms and that food allergies run in my family. And my dr will not do a blood test.
I think there is some merit to this. When I have an allergic reaction at night, I notice my heart is beating very fast. I usually wake up in the morning with a swollen face, lips and throat. Allergy testing came back normal. I feel notice I feel really tired and have joint pain after I eat baked foods like bread and cake. It could be the wheat, yeast, eggs or milk. Maybe make yourself a food diary. You have a right to be refered to a specialist if you are having health problems.
Never heard of pulse testing.I have very severe food allergies and you need to be tested by an allergist,especially since it runs in your family.You can demand that your doctor run a blood test but if this is a family doctor you need to see an allergist instead.You will probably find out that you are allergic to a lot more foods than you think you are.I have very severe food allergies and have to take 2 injections a week for the rest of my life(I am 65 now),if I stop them I can die and I don’t want that to happen yet.Good luck.
