I go into anaphylactic shock, and use my EpiPen and then feel fine?
I recently had a serious allergic reaction that I just waited out, without going to the hospital like I should have. I hate having to go to the hospital and get all that medication shot into my system. The last time I had anaphylaxis and went to the hospital I felt like I was about to die, it was the worst feeling ever.
I just want to know if I use my EpiPen, even though it says to go to a doctor within a 1/2 hour - but if I feel fine, should I still go?
Thanks! :)
btw - if it helps, I am allergic to tree nuts and peanuts, cats, mosquito bites, dust and mold. (yeah, I should just kill myself. lol)

You should at least have someone check you out. Adrenaline can make your heart speed up and your glucose levels plummet....
And just so you know... lots of people are like you in allergies

YEs. Go to the doctors when it happens again,even if you feel fine with the Epipen. Just incase.
