What Are The Long Term Effects Of Itching,breathing Problem And Body Spasms?

Yesterday I got some sort of bite, most likely a spider. Ten minutes later I started itching all over my body wich soon turned into burning, then found it very dificult to breathe and might have gone into shock. Got to the hospital and had body spasms and nausia. The heart was also affected. I am 74 years old and this happened in Mexico. Are there any long range affects or any need to worry.

Dear, your symptoms were due to an allergic reaction to the bite of spider, nothing else. since your symptoms got relieved after taking medication which your doctor might have given, you do not need to worry for the long range side effects. usually allergic reactions are transient & go off with a dose of antihistaminic. but, you should be aware of bites from any insects as they can lead to these kind of symptoms again. take care.
