I had a bad allergic reaction to diclofenac in the summer. Itching, flushing, red eyes, hoarseness, wheezing, feeling faint. I took a piriton immediately and my mother phoned an ambulance. I was given oxygen (I was blue lipped apparently) by the paramedics and taken to hospital. However I was recovering quite quickly by then so after some basic health checks was sent home.
My GP just said to avoid diclofenac in the future, nothing else. What I wondered was, did I have anaphylaxis or just an allergic reaction? When is an allergic reaction classed as anaphylaxis?
