Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your complain it seems that all your symptoms are indicating towards Anaphylactic reaction or allergic reaction and if the vitamins are the recently taken different supplements then they can be a cause. Also check that they are not expired drugs.
It can also be due to allergic reaction to any food or any poisonous insect bite..As the symptoms are relatively serious and spreading you should immediately consult an emergency room and get evaluated and they can give you intravenous and injectable anti allergics and steroids followed by oral drugs for relief. You should also get allergic tests done to rule out the exact cause of the outbreak and get treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
