Went for allergy testing. Had intradermal testing done. Had immediate severe reaction in the form of redness, swelling and itching at the site. Was told I could leave Doctor's office. Within a few hours developed runny nose, itchy nose, and dry eyes. Soon after that I developed hives on my trunk. I immediately called the doctor's office to let them know what was happening. They told me to take Allavert and to take Benadryl at night. Within the next half hour I started having feeling of my throat being very hot and burning. I then felt like I had a hard time swallowing. My chest was a bit tight. I then was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. I was given Benadryl and Albuterol which brought things under control. My body was shaking and tingling and I was extremely light headed and dizzy. I was breathing very deeply and was trying to catch my breath.
When I developed the symptoms of hives and was showing to have a delayed reaction to the testing, should I have gone to the emergency room?
