Whenever I take aspirin, my heart begins to palpitate and I have difficulty breathing. Why?
Question:
Answers:
Sounds like anaphylaxis symptoms from allergies. Sometimes you can become allergic to something you have used for years, like aspirin. I wasn't allergic to any medications until I started having a lot of surgeries and now I am allergic to about 15 types, including antibiotics. I've had a couple of smaller episodes with the tightness and fast heart and 2 really bad ones that if my son had not been home to get me to the dr. I would have died. When these episodes begin take Benedryl quick and call the dr. or go now to see the dr. and get tested or he will be able to tell you what medicines to watch for that have the same ingredient that is in the spirin that you are allergic to. I have Epipens (epinephrine injections) to keep with me now in case of an episode! Don't mess around with this because it is serious, deadly serious. I have taught my grandchildren how to use it on me also. You may find yourself allergic to many medications later on or now so be very careful when trying new meds.My daughter always had allergies and asthma but developed medicine allergies during her teen years.Best wishes and don't put it off, get help!

you are allergic to it dont take it anymore. it could be life threatening if you keep taking it.
Sounds like an allergic reaction. I would refrain from taking aspirin It sounds like a reaction, allergic one, to the aspirin. I wouldn't take any more of them. Each time you take it you risk having a worse episode and could wind up in anaphlastic shock. Try tylonel or ibuprofen. If you feel sickly now from an aspirin take a benedryl to help calm the allergic reaction down, and if it doesn't feel better soon, go to the er.
