I went into anaphylactic shock after exercising and eating chocolate, wheat, and other suspectable foods. I had also taken advil 5 1/2 hours before my reaction. I broke out in hives, my face swelled up and I had trouble breathing. I was hospitalized for a few hours and I am still being tested for the cause of my reaction.

Have you had any results in determining what caused your reaction? Also, are you having any lung or extreme allergy problems since then? I developed asthma after my anapylactic shock reaction in 1997, and my allergies were also much worse (hypersensitive to lots of things after that.)

My wife, mother of 2, and spouse for 10 years, just suffered from a near death experience from anaphylaxis while I was away on business. Families need to have an emergency plan in place if anything like this ever happens. You can read her story here.
