Hi Sadie,

So sorry to hear you had such a distressing reaction! To be honest with you I’m not sure if there are specific points where a reaction is or isn’t described as anaphylaxis – the definition is simply that it is a serious reaction that has the potential to be life threatening. If the symptoms weren’t brought down by the treatment paramedics gave you, which were possibly designed to treat anaphylaxis, it could be that your reaction was something else. However, I cannot give you medical advice – it’d be best to go speak to your GP and describe to them what happened to you.

Whatever the case it’s good to hear you’re alright, and hopefully you can get some clarification if you do visit your GP. 🙂 I hope you feel better soon.

All the best!
Liz

Thanks liz. I was in the hospital when I had the adrenaline. Think I was just really wiped out.

Hi Nicki,

I imagine it depends on the severity of your reaction and how your body recovers from the shock. I’d recommend visiting your local GP to get advice if you still feel unwell or if this happens again in future to you. They will be able to advise you appropriately.

I hope that helps, and that you feel better.
Liz
