Question: So I have no definite known allergens. Possibly almonds and shell fish- I was sucking on a XXXXXXX almond about a year about when my bottom lip swelled to triple its size (but I've seen had almonds accidentally in things and been fine?), and my throat was odd after a clam when I was young (but I think that may have been my mom overreacting).

Anyway, one of my big panic triggers is an allergic reaction. I just had an emotional talk with my bf and am feeling edgy. I tried to calm down by nibbling on some fries and then a cheese stick. The fries were left over from applebees, and I happened to think of how they say they can't guarantee no cross contamination with allergens (like shellfish, I was thinking).

Anyway, after the fries, I was eating the cheese stick, when suddenly I felt like the insider of my upper lip, right in the middle, was swelling. I thought I was crazy, but I stuck my tongue there and was certain I felt a bump swelling. I freaked and ran to the bathroom - I don't think it's noticeably swollen, but it feels like it is. Both lips now feel a little numb and tingly - I do know I'm very dehydrated at the moment.

I keep trying to calm down and relax. My panic makes it hard to breath, makes me pale, sometimes causes hives, so I don't know how to tell if it's panic or something I should be worried about...I'm so nervous. No allergy meds in the house.
