A few days ago, I woke up with abdominal pain. I thought, “Oh shit! I’m not going to be able to get up for work today.” But I did. And it was a good thing because I had a migraine that was a little scary.
This is a rare case of anaphylaxis, or an allergic reaction that causes the body to swell and move abnormally. In this case the swelling was pretty mild, but it could have developed into other more serious and life-threatening conditions.
Of course, I’ve never had an anaphylactic reaction, but it is worth mentioning that most anaphylactic reactions are mild at best, so I’m not sure what to expect. It is most likely going to be some mild pain and swelling, but this can be very serious in the long run.
In the meantime, I hope to see this case resolved soon. In the meantime, if you find that you’ve had a similar reaction it’s important to take care of yourself and see your healthcare provider right away.
Ive never had an anaphylactic reaction, but I do have a mild reaction to all sorts of things. Ive usually just gotten a little bit of a headache and had some feeling of dizziness. Ive had some stuff happen at work (which is why it took me 3 weeks to post my response to the original article) and it ended up being a lot of it was from my coworker.
So its not a good idea to have a small reaction to a lot of stimuli at the same time. Its important to take care of yourself and see your healthcare provider right away.
I dont want to get all technical here, but there is a name for this problem and it’s called Anaphylaxis. At least that is what the official article says. It is really scary because all it takes is a small dose of a substance like salicylates to trigger your body to react to it. You can be allergic or not to a drug, but if you have a reaction to an allergen such as peanut’s, you will probably have a reaction.
Okay, so let me set the scene. You wake up in the middle of the night with a terrible abdominal pain. You’ve never had a bowel movement before, and you are completely in shock. So you do what any smart person would do… you lie down and try to make yourself as comfortable as possible.
It turns out that youre reacting to a hormone called cortisol. When youre in a state of stress, youre more likely to react to a hormone called cortisol. When youre in a state of relaxation, youre more likely to react to a hormone called epinephrine. When youre in a state of anxiety, youre more likely to react to a hormone called norepinephrine.
The link between cortisol and adrenaline is one of the most interesting findings in the science of psychology for a couple reasons. First, cortisol is the stress hormone. Stress is a bodily response to acute threat that the body attempts to minimize. For example, a person’s heart rate is elevated when they are stressed, and when the heart is beating faster, it is more likely to be a sign of danger. Second, the cortisol effect is similar to a drug. Cortisol lowers the blood pressure.
