Hi Jan... Such symptoms are often caused by an allergic reaction of some kind. Anaphylaxis is an extreme allergic reaction. Regardless of what your doctor says, if you start to feel as though your throat is closing up or are having trouble breathing, go to the ER without delay. Fast treatment for anaphylactic shock is essential.

 

It could be though that you are having an oral allergy syndrome. Read more about it here.

 

Best,

Kathi
