First time in my life Paramedics responded for me...
I apparently had an allergic reaction to a vitamin pill I had taken, my esophagus closed up and I was coughing and choking and not able to breathe...
Unfortunately/fortunately, it was in a crowded conference room and people were trying to help me. I almost passed out. However, I recovered in a few minutes, before the EMTs arrived and checked me over. I didn't go to hospital, but was woozy for quite sometime afterward. I liked the EMTs prescription...to have a couple of pints tonight. I am not feeling up to drinking tonight, but will fill that "prescription" Saturday...
Weird thing about it is that I have been taking that brand of multivitamin for several months now, and have had only highly periodic bouts of a gagging reflex a couple of times, which I thought was from not having enough water. My sister (an RN) thinks that was an allergic reaction and this time I went over the edge with a full attack/reaction.
Mrs. THA said it was a good thing I was at the office and not in my hotel room. I may not have been able to call for help. I certain ly lost my voice at the time.
