What  type of selenium supplements are you taking may I ask?  
Selenomethionine  is the most biocompatible form unless you get it from brazil 
nuts.   
Sodium selenite is toxic, so be careful
 
The selenium supplement that causes me to break out with cold sores is from 
 Puritan Pride 200 mcg and states it is as selenium yeast. I can eat Brazil 
nuts  by the handful without any problem. I was taking selenium to try to 
get rid of  blue moons on my fingernails. What type of selenium comes from 
yeast? I also  noted that bread raises my heart rate within 30 minutes over 10 
beats per  minute. If I toast the bread my pulse raises like 6 beats per 
minute. I thought  this was from the sugar breaking down to be more like honey 
(fructose and  sucrose), but maybe it is caused by yeast in the bread.
