My stomach is upset and my areolas are darker than usual, but I'm not pregnant.

Hello, guest.

The symptoms you're describing, such as a persistent body odor reminiscent of food you ate, darkening of the areolas, shortness of breath, a slight swelling at the solar plexus, and stomach muscle pain, could potentially indicate various health conditions. It's important to consider these symptoms individually and collectively.

Certain foods can indeed cause changes in body odor due to their chemical makeup. Foods rich in sulfur, such as onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and red meat, can cause your body to emit an odor. If you've consumed any of these foods, they could be contributing to the odor you're noticing. Additionally, hormonal changes can also cause changes in body odor.

Areola color can change naturally over time. Hormonal fluctuations, such as those occurring during menstrual cycles or due to other hormonal changes, can cause this.

Shortness of breath can be related to a range of conditions, including those affecting the respiratory system, heart, or other systemic issues. Swelling in the solar plexus area could be linked to digestive or other abdominal issues.

Stomach muscle pain could be related to a variety of conditions ranging from muscular strain to issues with the digestive system or other internal organs.

Given the complexity and the range of symptoms you're experiencing, it's crucial to consult with a doctor. He or she can conduct a thorough examination and may perform tests to determine the underlying cause of these symptoms. Self-diagnosis can be difficult and inaccurate, especially when multiple symptoms are present, and it's essential to get a professional opinion to ensure appropriate treatment and care.

Good luck.
