About an hour & a half ago, I was sitting here minding my own bidness when I started feeling flushed & my head started thumping maniacally. My heart also started pounding & I started getting extremely antsy & anxious. I looked down at my chest to stretch my neck & I was a blotchy beet red. I looked at my arms & legs & exclaimed, "Whafu...?!" then Rob looked over at me & said, "Oh my god!" Apparently, I had an acute allergic reaction to something I just ate or my blood pressure meds or aspirin. I popped a Benadryl & took a cool shower. It was actually kind of a toss-up between allergies or TSS but the rash is subsiding & I can tell the Benadryl is kicking in. I am desperately hoping that I am not suddenly allergic to my blood pressure meds or shrimp. Or soy.
For the record, around 6:30pm I took 1 amlodipine (calcium-channel blocker), 1 Toprol XL (beta-blocker) & an aspirin. Around 7pm this is what I ate:
(From Yummy Sushi)
A bite of Rob's beef from his beef-fried-rice & another bite from his pepper steak.
Macaroni salad
Steamed rice
2 fried shrimp
2 grilled shrimp
3 pcs of egg-battered mahi-mahi
Some teriyaki sauce
