Thank you for responding..yes I am better today I am certain it was the tea, I normally drink cups of green tea and I am okay so I think it was the ginseng I googled it and yes it can cause stomach irritation and upset also headaches .so no ginseng for me ..

Hey margypops.

There are different types of ginseng. I have tried the Korean, for a pick- me- upper.
And the N.American wild (certified) ginseng with a bit of ginger for flu like symptoms .
  They worked o.k. for me
A colleague had a reaction to siberian ginseng.
My wife reacts to green tea when her stomach is a bit unsettled.
Who knows.
  Hope you feel better.
  Blessings,
