Urgent health issue A&E???

[TomAllenWife]

I've come to bed and have started itching all over, from the soles of my feet up to the top of my head, it's umbearable
I have a rash, my face is bright red, boiling hot, throbbing and my lips are swollen & tingling

I literally can't keep still, every bit of me is on fire

I called A&E as we have to here and they're calling me back

Any ideas?? I'm terrified

I'd start by taking an antihistamine

Yep done that

I would go straight to a&E if lips are swollen.

Are you taking any medication? Tramadol can cause intense itching

No only my regular medication that I take every nite

Is your throat okay? Can you breathe properly?

If antihistamine hasn’t helped then I would, you’ve come online somewhere desperate as your body is on fire I would just go, you’ve clearly reacted badly to something and might need more power to calm it.

Yes get to A&E ASAP op. Is anyone with you?

You can't just turn up to our a&e
My breathing is ok, but my lips are still weird
The itching is the worst I could pull my skin off

Hope you’re getting help

I don't know what else to do

No one is with me
DP is asleep with his phone off

Just go if they are ringing you back on your mobile

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Try to stay calm, your breathing being OK is the main thing and a big positive. Hope they call you soon op.

I'm not sure if my breathing is getting bad or I'm panicking

I would take a bigger dose of antihistamines than you would normally, so I'd have more of those.

@TomAllenWife call 999 and/or wake your DP. You need help IRL

Also, did you get changed for bed? Any changes in washing powder on your pyjamas and sheets?

Ring again now . Sounds like it could be an allergic reaction.

I'm not sure why you can't turn up to A&E. That is literally why it exists. Just go.

Did you eat anything out of the ordinary?

Focus on the out breath.

Oh lord can’t imagine a place you can’t just present to a&e! While you’re waiting on your call I suggest getting cool (but not cold) as your body will be heating up with said histamines and have some pain relief as it will be hurting you

You're probably panicking...but call them back or just go there. Surely they won't turn you away if you arrive with an emergency?

Another dose of antihistamine. Abs a cold shower?

Also calm you’re breathing if you can. The simplest way is to count 4 seconds at a time while pointing your finger in a diamond shape and stopping at each point when the second hits (hope that makes sense I’m trying to be quick)
