I have mild asthma and used to have hayfever

this morning I suddenly had an allergice reaction - came on very suddenly - very bad asthma, itching all over, coughing, runny nose, hives etc

I took some piriton and took my ventolin and slowly it all calmed down

the only trigger i can think of is a new brand of nurofen I took a few minutes earlier for the banging headache I woke up with

is there any point going to see my GP? i doubt it would be worth doing any tests and i have all the stuff here that i need (piriton and ventolin)

but it was rather scary how quickly and severely it came on...

because breathing is involved you absolutely need to see your GP. phone surgery and explain.
