Skin allergy test, help!

Has anyone on here ever had a skin patch test done for allergies? I had mine today at 9- I felt fine immediately afterwards then 10 minutes later started to feel quite tight chested and like my breathing was whispery (hope someone else understands what I mean, it’s the best way I can describe it!) im asthmatic so I used my blue inhaler which helped. Ever since then I’ve been getting on and off tightness and whisperyness and I’m not sure if it’s my asthma or the fact it’s taped so tightly to my back I’m possibly subconsciously breathing shallower because it feels tight and uncomfortable

has anyone else experienced this after a skin patch test? I’ve tried to contact the hospital for advice but couldn’t get through, not sure if I’m being a bit dramatic or not

Sounds like a reaction to me. I would have it removed immediately, have a photo taken and then antihistamine. Record all your reactions to show dr

I should say that I always feel 'asthmatic' when I react. It took having an allergic child to realise I was actually allergic to similar things (but milder).

It's best to err on the safe side.

If you are that reactive you should have been given blood tests not skin tests. Get back to them asap.
