Acupuncture symptoms

Patient

I just started acupuncture for high functioning chronic anxiety and so far it's been going pretty well. I was actually born with anxiety so my body has become so used to it​ to the point where regular medication doesn't help. And my chronic anxiety makes my chronic pain worse.

For about a month or so I have been going once a week to get acupuncture for my anxiety. This last week however something happened. I went in got my regular treatment but when I got home I could not stop sneezing and blowing my nose​ so much due to all the snot. Then I get a major cluster headache. And lastly I have such bad nausea that even thinking about breathing makes me sick to my stomach.

Should I stop acupuncture or should I continue and find ways to help with whatever is going on with me.
