Last night, I was eating peanuts and suddenly I felt I tightness in the chest , my lips swelled and my upper body and face became dark red ( almost like a blueish tinge) and I felt unwell and had difficulty breathing . I am an asthmatic but I was not wheezing , so I don t think it was asthma. The episodes lasted for approximately 20 minutes. Could if be anaphalaxis? I eat peanuts regularly or could it be heart problems, I am 51 years of age
If you are asthmatic it isallergyit means you are known to have allergies thing of any medicine taken our body tries to fight with the allergens may be food pollen and others till our immunity is good to tolerate and age goes our immunity level goes and at time it comes below desired level our body reacts to same things which it was tolerating before give my patients a list to avoid almonds, coconut,walnut, ground nut, peanuts.mustard they definitely cause problem at one time or other in the life think the reason is this but you still think if you had any Medina just before eating peanuts or exposure to any other allergen you can get blood serum tested for specific antibodies for these things and go for sublingual immunotherapy to increase your immunity to prevent such attacks in future
