After a food allergy, 🥲

I have to say, before 2024, we were allergic to drugs and hospitalized. 😢

After leaving the hospital this time, I stayed at home when I left the hospital, and I still had a brisk heart and chest, but the pressure was normal.

... come to stay at home after taking the doctor's medicine. During the night, we have "can't sleep... suffocation, heart beat very fast, can't control your breath... heart stops beating and wakes itself about 3-4 times, hands tremble, full body sweat," similar to not dare to close your eyes, not dare to sleep.

So the girlfriend decided to take him to the doctor in the morning, and we told the doctor all the symptoms, so the doctor sent us to a lung X-ray, the results were normal, the heart waves, the soundtrack rate, the heart waves were abnormal because the heart was beating too fast. 😢

So the doctor said everything was normal except for the heartbeat, because...

..... After severe drug allergy, the body and brain may develop "hyperarousal" because the event is considered severe stress and heavily stimulates the autonomic nervous system.

The body suddenly enters survival mode.

What often happens is

• Memory trauma: Drug allergies may make you feel afraid that it will happen again.

• Sensitivity to body signals: Just feeling the heart beating fast or breathing irregularly can trigger panic attack.

• The autonomic nervous system overworks: After surviving a dangerous condition, the body may still have high stress hormones, causing heart pounding, sweating, hand shaking, shortness of breath.

Panic symptoms found, such as

• Palpitations, shortness of breath

• Seems to lack air

• It feels like fainting.

• Fear of death or fear of losing control

We are everything, because we have been allergic to drugs and food allergies, so the brain is sensitive.

The medicine the doctor gave us was medicine.

• Heart rate-lowering drugs (beta-blockers) such as propranolol - help control physical symptoms (palpitations, hand tremors)

• Used sometimes in situations where it is known to provoke panic.

I didn't think this intolerance would have a long-term effect. 😢# Panic # Food allergy # Drug allergies # Health
