Brief Answer:
She should avoid eating red lobster. THis suggest and allergy!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your mother has experienced. This is suggestive of allergy to red lobster and she should stop taking it. I am not surprised that no abnormal findings were found about the heart. Please, it is a no for her to continue eating these lobsters because of the risk associated with developing and allergy. She has been fortunate to escape the previous episodes and should not undertake similar risk in future.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
