So I had an allergic reaction in the cinema...

I was eating nachos with their three sauces, cheese, salsa and guacamole and a side of jalapeños.
Half way through my nose started running so I thought it was the spice.

But my throat felt close and I started to cough a little.

My left arm started to itch and I had a mini rash appear.

I got hot and suddenly felt the panic setting in.

A few seconds later I remembered I have my nasal antihistamine in my makeup bag.

I took too sprays per nostril and monitored my pulse and rash.

Very quickly my airways opened back up, and the rash felt less itchy.

I flooded my system with the last of the water I had.

I currently have one visible bump from the rash and the redness has cleared...

Scaryyy!

See your doctor ASAP. You need to figure out what you reacted to and whether you need to carry an Epipen. The fact that your airway was closing is VERY alarming. You probably shouldn't rely on a mere nasal antihistamine in the future.

@Vittoria I'm on it... Since I got diagnosed with ibs my diet has had to change which as a consequence has made me intolerant to a lot

@Vittoria definitely the jalapeños. They were the last thing I ate, possibly the salsa but I believe it was the peppers.
